I have acquired a taste for the Whole Foods 365 Organic Maple Spice Instant oatmeal; The instant accommodates my sleepy nature, while the maple spice provides my morning maple fix. Other instant maple oats fall to reach the delicious heights of the humble Whole Foods private label.

However all is not well with Breakfast. Supplies of 365 Organic Maple Spice have been drying up throughout the Boston Area. With the last oatmeal packet, came the charge to find the source.

And I believe I have.
