I’m 68. I’ve never heard of “muesli” before now. Is it a high-brow term for “bacteria friendly dirt”?

My wife and I discovered it in a country inn in Grindelwald, Switzerland in 1981. They had a variant called “Bircher Muesli” which is muesli cereal soaked in yogurt. It was SO good. I occasionally buy a box at home. It is DENSE — a small box weighs a couple pounds.

The article is funny. Tje title has “muesli” in it but the article discusses high fiber diets in general and does not mention muesli until the last sentence where it says it is a good fiber source. It’s like the author’s sponsor is a muesli company and he finished writing his article when he realized “Oh crap! This is supposed to be about the wonders of muesli. I better mention it before I wrap up.”
