Exactly. The American food industry has this nasty obsession with loading everything with sugars and salt to pump up the taste at the cost of toxicity. Much of my effort reforming my diet after the heart attack was finding healthy forms of the store-bought foods that almost killed me.

I go through a batch like the recipe in about a week, because I don't just eat it for breakfast. Throughout the day I'll grab a fistful of granola to munch. I figure that without any sugar, very little salt, and high-fiber oats, I needn't feel too guilty about it.

It's ironic that granola was once considered a health food. Nowadays it's tooth-rotting diabetes-inducing candy just like any other commercial breakfast cereal. I think it'd be neat to spread the word that granola can be made at home. It's the right idea for economic hard times, and the battle cry could be "make granola healthy again!".

Spread the word!
