We stopped to buy groceries in Sprouts yesterday.
Spouts is a little too loony for doing our general shopping, but it’s got some things you just can’t find elsewhere, and sometimes they have some great bargains on meats.
While I was waiting to for the reset of the family to take a group bathroom break, I had the chance to peruse the breakfast cereal aisle and found something totally unexpected.
I thought the whole area would be populated with flavorless, sugarless, oatmeal and whole grain derivatives.
While I did find those, I also found the EnviroKidz line of breakfast cereals, “Amazon Frosted Flakes”, “Cheetah Chomps”, “Gorilla Munch”, “Koala Crisp”, “Orangutan-O’s” and “Peanut Butter Panda Puffs.”
It’s a line of kids cereals where you can choose gluten free, whole grain, vegetarian, trans fat free breakfasts sweetened with “evaporated cane juice.”
Each box has a cute endangered animal motif to keeps the kids going “Awwww” and if that isn’t enough to get a green-hearted parent to buy these cereals, they donate 1% of their sales to endangered species, habitat conservation and education.
I suppose there’s nothing wrong with that, but somehow it makes me feel all cynical.
