Note on muesli-munching: Muesli is a mixture of rolled oats, seeds, nuts and dried fruit first popularised in Switzerland around 1900 by Dr Maximilian Bircher-Benner, who served it at his Zurich sanatorium in the belief, remarkable in its day, that fruit and vegetables did his patients more good than meat and white bread. For decades, every supermarket has had shelves of it in increasingly magnificent variety and there can hardly be a hotel or B&B in the world where it doesn’t appear on the menu or the breakfast sideboard, waiting in its plastic silo next to the usual range of moisteners: milk, yoghurt, little pieces of tasteless apple, tinned apricots and prunes. As common now as cornflakes, any comic potential must surely lie in its ubiquity, and yet somehow it persists as a marker of the crank and the unworldly idealist: the people “out of touch with common humanity.
Why should muesli munching be a term of abuse? It’s the fault of Orwell, Guardian, 2016
