Notes

• Kevin asserts that grits are better for the human soul than oatmeal.
• Brian agrees.
• Matt claims that grits are the start of what will become a real-life Soylent Green.
• Alan makes a case for both grits and oatmeal co-existing.
• Brian asserts that grits are a local favorite and should therefore be celebrated.
• Matt concedes, begrudgingly.
• Outcome: Grits are great and fit most people's breakfast needs. However, we recognize some regional preference for oatmeal and humbly respect historical ties. We should be accepting of all breakfast items today but start to move to a more grits-friendly environment in the future.

Additional Considerations (added later)

• Lorinda suggests that one consideration that was missing from the above session is that of add-ins. Oatmeal is far more extensible with its ability to accept and even enhance a variety of add-ins.
• Lorinda also posits that grits do not allow for such flexibility, being mostly conducive to butter or sweeteners but not much else.
