Log Cabin Syrup Survey Shows No One Makes Breakfast Quite Like Mom
Majority of Respondents Start Their Day with a Hot Breakfast and Conversation, Though Many Have Invited Gadgets Like iPads and Mobile Devices to the Table
MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In honor of National Hot Breakfast Month, Log Cabin Syrup released today the results from its first Breakfast Table Traditions Survey. The poll of more than 1,000 respondents, intended to create a snapshot of modern American family views and behaviors towards breakfast, revealed that the first meal of the day remains an integral part of everyday life – 94 percent start the day off with breakfast.
More than half of those polled stated they make a conscious effort to choose breakfast options they feel good about for themselves and their families (56 percent), with nearly half (49 percent) stating they are trying to remove high fructose corn syrup from their family’s diet.
“During the month of February, Log Cabin Syrup encourages modern families to update their breakfast traditions by sitting down to share a hot breakfast they can feel good about that’s high fructose corn syrup-free,” said Oliver Sanders, Brand Manager of Syrups for Pinnacle Foods Group. “Log Cabin Syrup offers the same great taste and value consumers have loved for 120 years, but our updated ingredients better meet the needs and desires of today’s families.”

A Healthy Donut?

Used Cookware As Art
There is no doubt that cuisine can at times transport one to another place, but that place doesn’t necessarily have to be terrestrial. Proof can be seen in Christopher Jonassen’s book, Devour. What may look like a faraway world is in fact something else quite down to earth: pots and/or pans. Cookware may only last so long, but given immortality through photography, close-up photos offer a new perspective, giving us a glimpse into a world that no longer exists. Or at least should not be used to cook any more meals.
