We cook wheat in pure Vermont maple
syrup, to make this perfect food enticing.
To make children like it better than fad foods
better than foods not half so good for them.
Once let them taste Map1-F1ake and they
will never again be content with inferior cereal
foods.
Whole wheat is the ideal food for hot weather
1t is the food of the ages Nothing can take its
place.
1t gives the maximum nourshment while pro-
ducing the minimum heat. In summer, wheat
should largely take the place of meat
But wheat must be prepared rightly, else
much of it fails to digest. The particles must
be separated, by cooking and heat, the diges-
tive juices can get to them.
So we steanl-cook our wheat for six hours
Then we cure it for days-a partial digestive
process
Then each separate berry is faxed so thin that
the full heat Of our ovens attack every atom.
Then those thin fakes are toasted 80 minutes
in heat of 400 degrees
Flaked foods be made in one-fourth of
this time. The making cost is less, but the cost
to you is more.
For half-cooked food only half digests. The
other half goes to waste. 1t ferments and dis
turbs digestion.
