Your mother was right BreakfastIt is for many reasons the most important meal in the day.

A bowl of whole-grain cereal is a great way to start your day. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that will give you energy and endurance. Cereal is one of the most nutritious breakfast options, with ready-to-eat cereals having fewer calories than any other option.

Although mom may enjoy a routine for breakfast, it might not be the most healthy. There are approximately 2.3 billion boxes of cereal sold each year in the United States. If even half of these boxes were removed, it would save 170,000,000 gallons of water. The environmental impacts go beyond just pollution. To power cereal boxes plants, it takes 2.4 trillion units to generate energy — enough to power 26,000 homes. These same plants can produce particle air emissions equivalent to 31,000 city buses and greenhouse gases equivalent to 50,000 cars. They also produce enough solid waste for 4,677 garbage trucks.

There is a cereal company that both pleases moms and Mother Nature. Malt-O-Meal is revolutionizing breakfast cereals. They offer cereals that have more than 44g of whole grains per cup and are free from trans fats.

What really sets Malt-O-Meal brand cereals apart from their competitors is the company’s commitment to developing innovative products that are more sustainable and less wasteful. They have reduced packaging waste by 75 percent, eliminating the boxes that breakfast cereals come in and packaging them in bags. This is a savings of 1.1 trillion units and a reduction in the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
