Or, for that matter, any snack or cookie made with that wonderful substance known as "enriched white flour." Isn't it wonderful to know that every time you load your body with refined sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oils, BHA and BHT (to preserve freshness), and various emulsifiers, that the food industry has made sure you are also getting 5% of your minimum daily adult requirement of vitamins? If you're a real health food nut, try the "vitamin-fortified" cereals, such as Pac-Man (yes, that's really a cereal), Alpha-Bits, or the ever-popular Cheerios. (With Cheerios, you will need to add extra sugar, since it does not contain the minimum adult requirement for sucrose.) An alternative way to get your daily vitamin requirements met is to take a bowl of Sugar Smacks and crush a One-a-Day into it. Voila! Vitamin-fortified cereal! An important part of this nutritious breakfast! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Kirby "There is no great genius without RCA Cylix Communications some touch of madness." - Seneca Memphis, TN ...!ihnp4!akgub!cylixd!dave (The views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of RCA Cylix.
