"God sure is smart!"

Super D and I went to the health food store. Don't get me wrong, we don't usually shop there. I just have to buy special shampoo and conditioner that is fragrance-free, and the health food store happens to carry it. But since we were there, we walked up and down the aisles to see what kinds of crazy things they sell.

Super D pointed out this cereal:
Strange name for a cereal, right? We almost passed it by, but my curiosity got the best of me. Who would name a cereal after a Bible verse, and what did the verse have to do with cereal?

Here is how the side of the box reads:

Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Cereal is inspired by the Holy Scripture verse: "Take also unto thee Wheat and Barley and Beans and Lentils and Millet and Spelt and put them in one vessel and make bread of it..." We discovered when these six grains and legumes are sprouted and combined, an amazing thing happens. A complete protein is created that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. In fact, the protein quality is so high, that it is 84.3% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. Plus, there are 18 amino acids present in this unique cereal - from all vegetable sources!

So there we were, Super D and me, standing in the middle of the health food store, grinning from ear to ear, with tears in our eyes, in awe that modern science has proved that such an ancient combination of foods would produce such a super-food. Super D said, "God sure is smart!"

And how does it taste, you ask? Super D suspected it might taste like cardboard, but it isn't too bad. I wouldn't eat it by itself, but with milk and fruit, it just might do.
