Hey there, Jeff,
I wanted to share a modest success with you, since my inspiration was the "Oatmeal" segment on your Youtube spots.
I love oatmeal, and have eaten it daily for years, but I have experienced some "drift"...a little bit of brown sugar, a bit more brown sugar, maybe a teeny bit of salt, a splash of soymilk, raisins, dates, sliced almonds...NOW we're talking oatmeal!
But after watching the video, I have eaten, for the past two mornings: oatmeal, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, and a half cup frozen strawberries, a teeny bit of cinnamon. To my surprise, the result is absolutely...uh...acceptable!! I mean, it really tastes pretty good, and I am such an awful creature of habit, all I need to do is eat my oatmeal this way a few more times, and I won't be able to eat it any other way! (I might lose the cinnamon...all it did was send the message to my brain, "hey, isn't this supposed to be sweet?")
I think I am pretty sensitive to sugar. I can feel my blood sugar fall midmorning (I eat a banana), and when I get hungry, watch out. I actually think my unsugared oatmeal did a better job of sustaining me through the morning.
Anyway, for what it's worth...
