Today's Reason to Celebrate

October 29, 2009 was

National Oatmeal Day

Oatmeal is an extremely healthy, versatile food that can be eaten any time of the day. It is perfect for breakfast because it is very filling and it's great as a snack because it does not have too many calories! And don't forget about oatmeal cookies which are a yummy treat to have for dessert.

Here's an oatmeal related tidbit: the Quaker Oats Man is one of the oldest advertising mascots in America. He became the first registered trademark for this breakfast cereal in 1877 and was purposely made to reflect the Quaker faith and its values of honesty, integrity, and purity. The Quakers tried to have their association with the Quaker Oats cereal removed, but they lost the court battle.

Enjoy National Oatmeal Day and celebrate its history and tastiness!
