I have been making a concerted effort to eat healthy lately... it's amazing what a blood pressure reading of 172/112 will incite you into doing.
Since man first found a way to mix a concoction of grains together that was gritty enough to wear down his teeth to the point that the word 'attrition' was invented, muesli has been - for want of a better word - 'enjoyed'. Seeing as it is talked up as the healthiest way to start the day on a regular basis, I figured I'd give it a go.
Damn... there is SO much to learn about muesli!
Now, it's very rare that I have anything nice to say about something found on a supermarket shelf (unless it contains bacon, chocolate... or both) but after careful research involving annoying the living crap out of any shop assistant who strayed too close... I've actually found a muesli worth eating. Seriously... it's actually edible.
Woollies put out their own brand of healthy crap called Naytura - stupid name, but the muesli is good. After wasting large quantities of cash on 'healthy' mueslis that consisted mainly of either burnt blobs of crumbs held together by copious quantities of sugar and sprinkled with nuts or what could only be described as left over cattle-feed, I gave up on finding a muesli that I could eat.
Wandering around the aisles looking for cheap, tasty stuff that I could mix in with my rat's usual grain-food (I like to throw together a concoction I call 'Rat-Crunchies' from cheap cereals) I noticed the Naytura muesli in the healthy section. It had nuts, it had fruit, it had no toasting, it had no added sugar and it was on special - perfect!
Whilst making up my Rat-Crunchie mix, I figured 'what the hey' and tipped some into a bowl and chucked on some soy milk... awww maaaah gawd... it was good. It was probably the only one I tried that didn't have so much sugar in it that my lips hit the back of my head.
So, in a nutshell - Woolworths Naytura Fruit and Nut Muesli tastes good, and that's a fact... according to rats, both large and small.
