Walking to school uphill, barefoot, in the snow was easier with sugar.

We haven’t had an Anecdote on Aging in awhile.

Remember when we were kids, and we used to pour sugar on our cereal out of these diner-style sugar dispensers.  Then, when the cereal was gone, we could eat the milk-soaked-sugar off the bottom of the bowl by the spoonful? 

How many of us would let our kids pour barrels of sugar on their cereal?!   Instead we feed them their breakfast sprinkled with  a bit of flaxseed and a gummy vite on the side.

*Hat-tip for this those-were-the-days moment to my friend Vince.  Thanks, Vinny.
