Cream Of Wheat

Cream of Wheat has been around, and it seems like forever. The most common question about the product is, "What exactly is it?" Well, it's milled wheat that's been ground up into a fine texture. You make it by boiling milk (richer & recommended), or water and adding the dry product to it. It sets up and has a smooth and creamy consistency.  You can add butter and sugar to it, or cinnamon, which is also absolutely recommended!

Farina is a brand name that's the same stuff. Co Co Wheats is also the same except that it is chocolate flavored. Malt O Meal is another hot cereal that's the same thing.

The cereals are usually enriched with iron and calcium and are super easy for kids to make before school, just like my brother and I did. We lived off of the stuff! Dad and Mom purchased it because they thought it was healthier than sugary cereal even though we added sugar to the mix! I believe the reality is that it just lasted longer than cold cereal. You can get a lot more breakfast's out of a box of this stuff.

I read a very interesting article years back about the world's ancient grain trade. I wish I could find it again to quote it precisely but basically it boiled down to the fact that heavily grain-fed countries have consistently been world dominant in wars and in economy.

Despite any current stories that say China may own a major part of United States farmland (is it true?) and that America's politicians are selling us piece by piece to the highest bidder, I still will always maintain that people will always want good food and ice cubes in their drinks. That controls a lot of action, folks :) So, rest as easy as you can because as an American worker, hey, destroy the people who grow the wheat, and you have nothing. Zip, zero, nada.
