The Secret Teachings 11/9/20 - Cereal Killers: Part of an Unbalanced Breakfast w. Hope

When we think of cereal, it’s often the case we might think of Tony the tiger or that rabbit who’s always trying to steal from the kids. But the word cereal has been given a broad definition, it’s now “part of a balanced breakfast”, whereas an actual cereal grain is a grass cultivated for its edible components and would arguably be the “balanced breakfast”. These components are usually in processed breakfast cereal, but these products resemble little of the original grain. They are processed with multiple types of sugar, food dye, chemical artificial and natural flavorings, and sometimes things as absurd as lighter fluid or toilet bowl cleaner.Breakfast cereal has destroyed the definition and understanding of what a cereal grain is. It’s interesting to note that Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, of some of the most popular types of cereal, was not so interested in these processed products, and instead as a wellness guru raised in the seventh day Adventist church, strove to develop foods that would support digestive health and the body. His philosophy was called “biological living” and it emphasized exercise, massage therapy and drinking plenty of water. These three components along with proper nutrition, are not part of a balanced breakfast, they are a balanced lifestyle. Anything else is a cereal killer.
