Talk:Granola

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Page needs attention. A weird, seemingly biased tone in there with regard to whether chewy granola "Should" be called granola, as if someone out there defines it. Sounds like portions of this article were written by a health nut.

I touched up as best I can but my writing skills are lacking.

The last paragraph about whether or not modern Granola snack foods are "healthier" or not seems to be arguing with itself as well... if there's a dispute it should really be discussed here rather than just with an antagonistic sentence on the main page.

[edit] Possible NPOV problem

There was a sentence at the end that said hippies are called "granola" "based on granola's constituency of fruits, nuts, and flakes." This seems somewhat questionable (granola is more like pellets than flakes), and probably NPOV. I would argue it has more to do with a hippie's preference toward "natural food" than that they are gay, crazy, or unreliable. --Transfinite 04:02, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The sentence is there at writing, and I don't see a POV issue with it currently - the quote is attributed to a specific person, and is used to highlight granola's "hippie" connotations. I would, however, like to see some sort of links or explanations to explain to a non-native speaker that "fruits, nuts, and flakes" also has a double meaning of "gay, crazy and unreliable." -- 18:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Is a mention of the Neil Diamond song warranted here?

[edit] Woodstock

Granola made a major appearance at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival.

What the hell does this mean? More detail needed.

Granola totally just appeared in a puff of smoke. Like, right in the middle of Hendrix's set, bro! WHOOA!

[edit] inventor of granola bar

I am changing the attribution on the invention of the granola bar. Stanley Mason is a much more direct inventor and was actually involved in bringing it (and a noumber of other foods) to market. And Alton Brown agrees with me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Litch (talk • contribs) 09:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
