Retro Food of the Week: Cereal
Now presenting: Cereal. Yes, that humble food that you never outgrow, easy source of your whole grains, and favorite of the Trix rabbit! Cereal as we think of it, has not always been around! The history of cereal has its roots in the early healthy food movement and the history of 7th Day Adventists. So, next time you have a bowl of Sugar Smacks (errr…just Smacks these days), know that you aren’t eating junk food…you are eating retro health food.
Actually, I think it is Honey Smacks now but I could be wrong. That box is even before my time, I think!
7th Day Adventists? No kidding, I’d have never guessed!

Nope, they are down to just Smacks. http://www.kelloggs.com/brand/characters/digem.html
I was more of a Super Sugar Crisp fan though. Can’t get enough of that sugar crisp.
