Insane Grain

You say it's a Fat Tuesday in the blog? I say it still looks like Rainy Day & Monday to me, but in the 60s, so just fine out there!

You say not to go grocery shopping when hungry? I say that's why I came home first after the fasting blood test and ate breakfast before I went grocery shopping!

You say to avoid cholesterol?  I say Insane Grain has no cholesterol in it, only corn & salt & (uh oh) partially hydrogenated soybean oil. But at least no HFCS (high fructose corn syrup).

My current crop of Insane Grain came from Candace, with the return of a borrowed book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan. I am halfway through it, and now I'll read the rest.

Insane Grain is, as you see, a Beer Nuts product, so you can get some here. I did not have beer as part of this nutritional breakfast. I didn't have Insane Grain, either. I had pumpkin bread. But I am going to have some Insane Grain now, because it's lunchtime.

And Fat Tuesday in the blog! Brought to you by circular thinking!

corn, salt, & oil...yum! Hitting on all cylinders. Besides, you have to keep the farmers in business, right?

Any fasting blood test sucks. Gah.

A product I've never heard of or seen where I live.

Pollan's "Food Rules" has been reissued; it has illustrations by the wonderful Maira Kalman.

Kathleen said...

Yes, to keeping farmers in business, though I hope we can transform farming back to agriculture, not agribusiness, actually!

Fear not, Emily! Absolutely painless, done in two minutes, and I have eaten since, and had plenty of water!

Maureen, I live in the hometown of Beer Nuts. According to their website, BBQ Beer Nuts kept a marriage together! There is a Beer Nuts store at the local mall, and the headquarters has always been here. Beer Nuts rock! Insane Grain rocks saltily!

The Rain in Your Brain falls Mainly On Insane Grain.

Omnivore's Dilemma was more corn porn than insane grain. I love the idea of saving your marriage with Beer Nuts, and I don't know why it doesn't mention that on the package label. Living here in the headquarters city of Frito Lay, I just got the salty snack blood pressure lecture from my doctor. Dang. Gotta cut back on olives, cheese, popcorn...
