A recent study by Impulse Research Service (for Heinz) reveals that consumers are increasingly missing out on breakfast. This despite the fact that 85% of Americans believe that eating breakfast is important.
Very few people anymore go to great lengths to prepare a full breakfast. The advent of cereal over the last century has fit perfectly with our busy lifestyles, but it seems that even cereal isn't convenient enough for more and more people. The recent growth of cereal bars can be explained by this observation.
Some experts believe that the breakfast food industry will experience healthy growth in coming years, but it will be interesting to see if cereal as we know it continues to be a staple for our morning fare.

It's not too often that you hear about cereal being recalled. One of my favorites, Golden Grahams, has been recalled in the U.S. by General Mills because some lots contain milk, which is not listed on the label. This only applies to 13oz boxes with certain date codes.
For more information visit General Mills.

The popularity of The Breakfast Bowl is growing. Thank you to all of you cereal fanatics who follow my updates and reflections.
To provide a better blog experience I will be making several changes in the coming weeks. Watch for some cosmetic changes on the website itelf, interactive features like polls, and increased feed capabilities. In addition, feeds will now contain the entire post contents, so more need to click through! UPDATE 10/15/06: Also note the new feed.
Please be patient during this time of transition. Those of you who have subscribed to the feed, may occasionally receive updates of older posts as the blog is rebuilt. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Every fall, leading up to Halloween, General Mills re-issues its three famous "monster cereals": Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry. (See last year's HERE)
For 2006 General Mills has developed a creative, non-traditional cereal box design (as they did in 2004) to highlight these three cereals. Look for them on cereal shelves around the U.S.
