TIDBITS® SERVES UP A HEALTHY

BREAKFASTby Kathy Wolfe

What’s for breakfast? Since September is all-American Breakfast Month, Tidbits is checking out what’s in the cupboard for the best meal of the day.

• What do eggs, bacon, oatmeal, toast, and waffles have in common? They’re all jentacular, which is a fancy word for “pertaining to breakfast.”

• Drs. John Harvey Kellogg and William K. Kellogg first produced the wheat flake in 1894. Four years later, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were introduced, and in 1906, the company made its headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Kellogg Company was the first to create “Waxtite” wrappers to package product inside cereal boxes. William K. Kellogg funded several charities throughout southern Michigan, donating more than $66 million to worthy causes during his lifetime.

• In 1928, Kellogg’s presented Rice Krispies. In 1939, Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day created the long-time favorite recipe for Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats as part of a fundraiser for the Campfire Girls. The 1930s also brought the introductions of Snap! Crackle! And Pop!, the animated mascots for the cereal.

BREAKFASTS (continued):• Back in 1921, as a Minneapolis health

clinician was mixing up a pan of bran gruel for his patients, he accidentally spilled some of the glop on a hot stove. It sizzled and crackled and became a crisp flake before his eyes. Thinking it could be a good breakfast item, he presented it to the local Washburn Crosby Company (later General Mills). The mill went to work developing a flake that wouldn’t crumble inside a box, and after 36 tests of different grain varieties, in 1924, Wheaties were born. The company held an internal contest to name the flake, and the entry submitted by an employee’s wife was chosen. The name Wheaties beat out Nutties and Gold Medal Wheat Flakes.

• Radio’s first ever singing radio commercial advertised Wheaties in 1926. In 1933, an advertising company came up with the slogan “Breakfast of Champions,” a phrase still in use today. Baseball player Lou Gehrig was the first athlete to be featured on the Wheaties box in 1934, and was followed up with Babe Didrikson, Jesse Owen, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, and several other well-known athletes. However, their faces were all pictured on the side or back of the box until 1958. That was the first year that the picture was on the front of the box, when Olympic pole vaulter Bob Richards was featured. Basketball great Michael Jordan has been on the Wheaties box a record 18 times.

• With all the health benefits of oatmeal, who wouldn’t choose it for breakfast on a regular basis? It helps lower cholesterol, reduces the risk of high blood pressure, is rich in antioxidants, reduces hardening of the arteries, helps stabilize blood sugar, and boosts the immune system. Sounds like it’s nature’s perfect food!

• There are several kinds of oats on the market, including old-fashioned oats, which are whole oats that are simply rolled to flatten them. Quick oats are made the same way, but are cut into smaller pieces for a faster cooking time. Steel cut oats have not been rolled, but rather are cut into thirds, making for a longer cooking time and thicker texture. The oats in instant oatmeal are rolled thinner and cut finer. Livestock eat about 95% of the oats grown in America.

• The Quaker Oats Company was the first to

register a trademark for a breakfast cereal. The Quaker Oats man image was registered with the U.S. Patent Office in 1877. Although some think his image is that of William Penn, he was registered simply as “a figure of a man in Quaker garb.” The owners selected the likeness because he signified “good quality and honest value.” Quaker was the first to include a recipe on its package, as well as having the original idea of including a premium in the box, which in 1891, was a chinaware item. Their familiar cylindrical canister came along in 1915.

• You may not recognize the name of John Gilchrist, but it’s likely that his face is familiar. From 1974 to 1986, Quaker used him, along with his two brothers Michael and Tommy, in an ad campaign for Life cereal. While the older brothers refused to try the cereal, John, known as Mikey in the ad, happily ate Life, and his brothers chorused, “He likes it!”

• General Mills introduced Cheerioats in 1941, but due to a trademark conflict, the names was changed to Cheerios in 1946. Although

Wheaties had long had athletes on their boxes, it wasn’t until 2009 that Cheerios featured their first, Olympic gold medal winner, gymnast Shawn Johnson.

• As far back as 1820, the British were singing the rhyme, “Do you know the muffin man?” During the Victorian period, many households had fresh baked goods delivered to their door by the muffin man, who brought not the cupcake-like confection Americans call a muffin, but rather a flat round bread baked on a griddle. Today, of course, we call them English muffins.

• In 1971, McDonald’s had no breakfast business. After one franchisee cooked up an egg, added cheese and Canadian bacon and put it on an English muffin, the company adopted his idea calling it the Egg McMuffin. About 25% of McDonald’s sales are from breakfast sales these days.

• In 1919, Minnesota mill owner John Campbell started a company with $900 worth of poker winnings. He added malt flavoring to farina cereal and dubbed his creation Malt-O-Meal.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

RYAN REYNOLDSDid you know that one of Hollywood’s hunkiest leading mean hails from up north? Let’s look at the life of Ryan Reynolds, who at age 37, already has 28 movies under his belt.• Reynolds’ humble beginnings were in

Vancouver, British Columbia, where his father was a food wholesaler and his mother worked in retail. Reynolds himself worked in a grocery store in his youth.

• At age 15, Reynolds was cast in a teen soap called Hillside in Canada, and known as Fifteen in the U.S. He also co-starred in the TV movie Sabrina the Teenage Witch during his youth.

• Since he failed his high school drama class, it didn’t seem like he was destined for a big career in movies, but at age 20, fellow Vancouver actor Chris William Martin convinced Reynolds to head to Los Angeles. Reynolds loaded up his Jeep, and on the pair’s first night in L.A., the Jeep was vandalized. He drove it for the

next four months without doors. • At age 19, Reynolds attempted to

earn his skydiving license, but it was an endeavor gone wrong. On his 13th jump, his chute malfunctioned, coming out vertically rather than the normal horizontal. Fortunately, he had a reserve chute, and safely landed eight miles away from the drop zone. The incident left him with a fear of flying and a vow never to skydive again.

• Reynolds got his first break at age 21 in the role of med student Berg Bergen in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. The story of three Boston University students sharing an apartment ran from 1998 to 2001, and Reynolds appeared in 81 episodes.

• Reynolds hit the big screen in 2002 with Van Wilder, which led him to roles in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and as a vampire hunter in Blade: Trinity. It was a slow but

steady climb to stardom with The Amityville Horror, X-Men Origins, and The Proposal opposite Sandra Bullock. Shortly after the release of The Proposal, Reynolds was selected as People magazine’s 2010 Sexiest Man Alive.

• Reynolds’ romantic life has been filled with a series of lovely ladies. From 2004 to 2007, he was engaged to a fellow Canadian, singer Alanis Morissette. Shortly after their breakup, Reynolds became engaged to actress Scarlett Johansson, and four months later, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in British Columbia in September, 2008. By December, 2010, the marriage was over. While filming Green Lantern, in which Reynolds portrayed the DC Comics crime-fighting superhero, he first met his co-star Blake Lively. They were married on a South Carolina plantation in September of 2012.

Happy 1st Birthday Harley!

RYAN REYNOLDS (continued):• Reynolds’ charitable work revolves around research for Parkinson’s Disease,

spurred on by his father’s diagnosis with the disease. Reynolds is on the board of directors of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease, and he ran in the 2008 New York City marathon on behalf of this organization.

• Two out of three of Reynolds’ older brothers are police officers in Canada – one of them is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police member. On the subject of Canada’s favorite sport, Reynolds has joked, “I’m not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place.”

BREAKFAST (continued):It’s now the third largest producer of cereals

in the United States with 1,400 employees and annual sales topping $750 million. The number of varieties has grown from one hot farina cereal to 28 bagged types.

• Many breakfast cereals have an animated mascot as their “spokesman.” Tony the Tiger became the official mascot of Kellogg’s new cereal Frosted Flakes in 1951. In 1955, Trix hit the grocers’ shelves, with a silly rabbit constantly trying to get children to give him a bowl of the cereal. He’s always been told, “Trix are for kids.” When Trix entered the market, it was composed of more than 46% sugar! Linus the Lionhearted was invented to peddle Post’s Crispy Critters in 1963 and in 1964, Post Sugar Crisp had a soft-spoken, cuddly bear named Sugar Bear touting its product.


Canadian Tid-bitsDEAR PAW’S CORNER: I recently met a guy who was walking his beautiful chocolate Lab in the park several blocks away. While petting his dog (I asked permission first, of course), I mentioned that I have a dog, too. He said, “Great! We should meet up at the dog park sometime.” I would love that, but my spaniel, “Jamey,” is not well-behaved and doesn’t play nice with other dogs. I like this guy. What should I do?

DEAR SINGLE: If you like the guy, be honest with him. Explain that Jamey doesn’t socialize well with other dogs, and that you’re nervous about how he would fare at the dog park. Suggest another neutral spot along this guy’s walk route, such as a coffee shop -- or even just meet him at the park without Jamey and get to know his dog better.Most experienced dog owners understand the frustration that can come with training and socializing their pets, and will respect your concerns with bringing Jamey to a dog park. That’s because you’re being a responsible owner.Now, should this first meeting blossom into additional meet-ups, and this guy wants to meet Jamey, you decide when it’s time to introduce them. If you think Jamey will behave when there is just one other dog around, suggest a meeting place where there are few distractions and introduce the dogs to each other, keeping both on leash the entire time.Meantime, continue working with Jamey, emphasizing his basic obedience training. On walks, train him to stay at your side even when passing other dogs, and don’t allow him to run ahead or wander. Once you are confident he will obey your commands, begin socializing him to other dogs gradually.

• Keep cut veggies crunchy by lining a plastic or glass storage dish with coffee filters before adding the vegetables, like carrot sticks and celery.

• Got a child going off to college? Before you leave campus, go together to the health center, and make sure your kid knows who to call/where to go for emergency or urgent care, both on campus and off. Not knowing could cause a delay in getting care, turning a bad situation worse.

• According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Each 12-ounce soft drink contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories. Drinking just one can of soda a day increases a child’s risk of obesity by 60 percent.” Talk to your children about making smart choices both in the lunch line and at the vending machines.

• Returning to school can mean returning to sports after a summer hiatus. Be smart, and follow these guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics: Give yourself at least one recovery day off each week; be sure you are wearing the proper gear and that it’s properly fitted; don’t forget to cross-train (general exercises to strengthen your muscles and keep you flexible); take breaks and hydrate to avoid overheating; and have your coach reinforce the proper technique and safety rules.

• Got memorabilia? Use a reasonably sized plastic storage bin for each child. Include folders noting each school grade for art and important academic papers. It can be a very special collection that you can give to your child when he or she is an adult.

▶ The youngest recipient of the Victoria Cross was Thomas Ricketts, who was just 17 years old when he received the honor for bravery exhibited during World War I.

▶ In an April Fool’s Day radio broadcast in 1988, expert Dr. Frederick Farben (really a radio station employee) told listeners all about color allergies, where people can be allergic to the color red, blue, or yellow. The Inuit are immune, he said, because they live in a mono-chromatic environment.

▶ The scientific name for puffin, fraterculaarctica, means ‘little brother of the arctic.’ The birds’ colorful bills and feet, which fade in the winter and brighten in the spring, help puffins assess potential mates. Puffins have the ability to carry several fish in their beaks at one time. They push the fish to the back of their mouth with their tongue, where ridges at the top of their bill secure the fish in place. This allows puffins to keep their mouth open to catch more fish without losing any in the process. In general, they can hold around 10 fish in their beak at once.
