Grape-nuts. That crunchy, humble, fibrous breakfast cereal. Grape-nuts have played a pivotal role in the breakfast routine of many Middlebury students throughout the years, adding a welcome crunch to oatmeals and bowls of yoghurt alike. Last year, grape-nuts stopped being offered in the dining halls due to being the least popular cereal. If you'd like to show your support for bringing back grape-nuts, please sign this! Even if grape-nuts have zero bearing on your life, please stand in solidarity with your grape-nut-loving peers and sign anyway.

Grape-nuts start out hard but soften given milk and some time. In a time when Middlebury is perhaps more fractured than ever, I hope that our hearts can soften in the milk of solidarity over grape-nuts.
