Gluten Eats Into Cereal Sales –Dave’s Diary

It’s the most important meal of the day but it’s changing.  I grew up on Raisin Bran and bacon and eggs but chances are good that your kids are eating something else.

Researchers suspect gluten may be to blame, and in response cereal companies are launching many alternatives such as breakfast drinks, bars and healthier cereal options.
