Folks, I won't bore you today with a lot of mumbo-jumbo about my childhood or current friendships in distress. You don't want to hear it, and you shouldn't have to. This is a business-to-business website for crying out loud, not some open-ended forum for the neurotic ramblings of a self absorbed blow-hard.

If you will, however, permit me a single half-cocked tangent... I just want to repeat the phrase mumbo-jumbo again. I never allow myself the freedom to say it, and this morning it just drifted to the surface of my consciousness like some dislodged sprig of sea kelp.

So here goes. Take a breath. It's coming. Close your eyes. Exhale. Envision total darkness. Now, envision total lightness, or whiteness. Brightness. Envision total brightness. Is there something beyond that brightness? A figure? Cream-colored, now gray. Yes. It's, it's the grill of a 1969 Dodge Coronet. It's coming toward you.
Turn, run and shout in a primal bellow those words which come in only the most dire of circumstances.
"Mumbo-jumbo!"

Thank you for allowing me that.

A study published in the May 12 issue of the journal Obesity found a protein-rich breakfast can increase feelings of satiety and reduce hunger throughout the day.

Datamonitor, in its “Bakery and Cereals in the U.S. to 2014” report, found the market for bakery and cereals in the U.S. increased at a compound annual growth rate of 2.2% between 2004-2009, and the firm’s Product Launch Analytics noted nearly a 33% surge in new cereals released over the course of 2010, compared with 2009.
