happy birthday adam!

adam & alexander circa 2004

while Christmas Day commemorates the birth of Jesus, Christmas Eve will forever commemorate the birth of Adam (no, not the biblical one, the [me] & goji one).  on this very day, Adam’s parents proudly welcomed the little gojian into the world. little did they know, some 26 years later, Adam would go on to revolutionize the cereal world.

so on behalf of alexander, carl and the rest of team goji- happy birthday Adam!  your cereal capsule is in the mail…

Kellogg’s crazy claim

in an attempt to become more health conscious, Kellogg’s decided to add the phrase “Now helps support your child’s immunity.”  Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, stated “By their logic, you can spray vitamins on a pile of leaves, and it will boost immunity.” Click here to check out the rest of the article.

[me] & goji contains food as nature intended it: unprocessed and without synthetic or artificial ingredients. in addition, our automatic nutritional counter allows you to design a cereal for your specific nutritional needs.

unfortunately, we were unable to get a quote from a Kellogg rep.  We were, however, able to reach Lucy, mother of [me] & goji founder Alexander, who released this statement, “It’s terrible to think of all the sugar and artificial ingredients they put in children’s cereal today. I wish [me] & goji was around when I was raising Alexander, maybe we could have gotten him to sit still once in awhile. Wait, you’re not going to quote me on that blog of yours are y… (lost connection).”

so while some people tell you not to fear the unknown, we take comfort in knowing exactly what goes into our cereal. check out some of recommended mixes in our cereal store today!

spotlight: mulberries and resveratrol

here we go ’round the mulberry bush,
so early in the morning.

this is the way we fight disease,
fight disease, fight disease.
this is the way we fight disease,
so get your resveratrol today!

Resveratrol, found in our mulberries and blue berries, are strong combatants of cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s by reducing inflammation, normalizing blood sugar and removing amyloid-beta protein (the cause of brain damage associated with Alzheimer’s disease).

Recent clinical trials suggest eating a polyphenol-rich diet (resveratrol is the superstar of the polyphenols) to maximize the benefits or resveratrol. So load up on your mulberries and blueberries today!

VH1 Save The Music Foundation x [me] & goji

[me] & goji presents…

when VH1 reached out to us about creating a special mix for the 2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors show, we just couldn’t resist the creative possibilities. besides, this year the show is honoring Def Jam, the company that Adam worked for before [me] & goji. Finally, the event is held to raise money for the VH1 Save the Music foundation so everybody wins!

This is the label we designed for the event that went on top of the Cereal Capsules. It is in the style of the records Def Jam sends out to DJs when a new song comes out.

The VH1 Save The Music Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in American public schools, and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child’s complete education.

2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors airs Tuesday, Oct 13.

[me] & goji makes its television debut!

last saturday, adam and alexander took a trip to the big apple to be on Fox Business Channel’s show Your Money, Your Questions. the pair shared a discussion with hosts Dagen and Tracy and special guest Jordan Zimmerman, founder of Zimmerman, and Barry Nalebluff, founder of Honest Beverages.

“this was our first time on TV and i’m really happy with how it went. we were given invaluable knowledge from experts of the marketing and retail industries,” Adam told me (Alexander) while we mixed cereal at the warehouse the next day. “the screen shots of our product and website were cool too,” he added.

special thanks to Fox Business Channel for allowing us to share our story!  we will take the advice we learned on the show to heart and hopefully get a chance to come back on and update everyone on our progress.  next time, we’ll try not to watch ourselves on the screen to the left while being filmed (oops!).
