The First Breakfast Cereal Was Invented For Use At A Psychiatric Facility Get your bowl and your spoon ready for March 7 is National Cereal Day. Since the end of the 19th century, cereal has become America’s most popular breakfast food. Do you remember mornings eating a bowl of cereal, reading the back of the box and trying to find the toy inside the box? Now, not only is cereal eaten for breakfast, it has become a popular bedtime snack, and some people even have a bowl for an evening meal. Cereal is also used in many cake, cookie and bar recipes. The most popular one is Rice Crispy Bar Treats. A Little Cereal History: Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant, began the cereal revolution in 1854 with a hand oats grinder in the back room of a small store in Akron, Ohio. His German Mills American Oatmeal Company was the nation’s first commercial oatmeal manufacturer. In 1877, Schumacher adopted the Quaker symbol, the first registered trademark for a breakfast cereal. Granula, the first breakfast cereal, was invented in the United States in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson, operator of Our Home on the Hillside, which was later replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York. The cereal never became popular since it was inconvenient as the heavy bran nuggets needed soaking overnight before they were tender enough to eat. The cereal industry rose from a combination of sincere religious beliefs and commercial interest in health foods. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg experimented with granola. He boiled some wheat, rolled it into thin films, and baked the resulting flakes in the oven; he acquired a patent in 1891. In 1895 he launched Cornflakes, which overnight captured a national market. In 1906, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s brother, William K. Kellogg, after working for John, broke away, bought the corn flakes rights from his brother and set up the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Company. His signature on every package became the company trademark and insurance of quality. Charles W. Post introduced Grape-nuts in 1898 and soon followed with Post Toasties. Because of Kellogg and Post, the city of Battle Creek, Michigan is nicknamed the “Cereal Capital of the World”. It wasn’t until 1939 that cereal would take on the sweetness that we are familiar with today. The sweet creation was called Ranger Joe Popped Wheat Honnie and was marketed towards children. You could say that the rest is history! From that moment forward cereal has used the marketing tactic of appealing to children through radio and TV ads. Cereal is a food made from processed grains that is often eaten as breakfast. The word cereal comes from Cerealia, the name of ancient Roman ceremonies that honored Ceres, the goddess of grain. Cereal is often eaten cold with with milk, yogurt, and sometimes fruit, but may be eaten dry. Breakfast cereal companies make gluten-free cereals for consumers who suffer from Celiac Disease. Astronauts from Apollo 11 ate cereal during their mission to the moon. The cereal with fruit was compressed into cubes because the lack of gravity made bowls of milk impossible. The average American eats 160 bowls of cereal each year..

Between 1880 and 1920, these groups gained public interest in their own way. The liquor interests defended their industries against politicians, religious leaders, and social reformers, but ultimately failed. While current historical scholarship links the different liquor industries together, the beer industry constantly worked to distinguish itself from other alcoholic beverages.

The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectiﬁ cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

ON PLANT-BASED “MEAT” by Andy Amakihe1
BURGERS, CHOPS, & VEGETABLE CROPS: CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THE “WAR” ON PLANT-BASED “MEAT” By Andy Amakihe1 1 J.D. Candidate 2021, Rutgers Law School 120 RUTGERS LAW RECORD ABSTRACT The Arkansas State Legislature has passed a new law called Act 501 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), “The Arkansas Truth in Labeling Law.”2 The Act prohibits labeling any food products as “meat” or similarly descriptive words if the product is not derived from livestock or poultry.3 Some “similarly descriptive” words include, without limitation, “burger,” “sausage,” and “deli slice.”4 The Act also applies to dairy products such as milk, butter, and cheese.5 Additionally, the Act applies to vegetable products that serve as alternatives to grains and dairy, such as cauliflower rice and nut “milks.”6 Every violation of the Act is met with a $1,000 civil fine for each plant-based product packaged and labeled as meat.7 Many other states such as Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Dakota have passed substantially similar laws that affect the way food products are marketed and sold within their states.8 Act 501 was passed after heavy lobbying of the Arkansas State Legislature by the animal agriculture industry.9 After a subsequent action by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Good Food Institute, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and the Tofurky Company, the District Court granted a preliminary injunction temporarily halting the enforcement of the law.10 The plaintiffs ultimately seek a permanent injunction banning Act 501.11 The purpose of this note is to explore the constitutionality of Act 501 as it pertains to the challenges on the First and Fourteenth Amendment’s freedom of speech (specifically commercial speech), freedom from vague statutes, and violations of the Dormant Commerce Clause.

I do now. Back when I lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, my best friend Sharon’s mother was a terric cook and she would make some outstanding treats and mail them to her daughter from Nashville. Sharon and I were both single mothers with really good jobs that required long hours. She was a high powered accountant who worked for the rich and famous and I ran a factory in town. We stood out for two reasons, one was the fact that we were women doing ‘mens’ jobs’ in a southern city and two was that she was tall, slender and oh so blonde, while I was 5′ tall with jet black hair. One day she called me at work to say her mother had sent her a package and she couldn’t get away and would I dash right then to the post ofyce to get it before they closed. What are friends forI If I’d known then that her mother had sent her twelve pounds of homemade granola I might have thought twice about going and how far away I would park.
