And the UVU website...

Also, let me clarify...
Our "extensive research" involved reading and summarizing a few articles. There's no way I can take credit for true research. I feel slightly silly, ok, a LOT silly that we got so much attention from this!

Poll: Milk, or no milk?

I have a dilemma of sorts that needs solving. This is very important. Please participate.

Just this morning, I was doin' my thing, eating my usual bowl of oatmeal when my roommate Erin asks,
"Do you put milk on your oatmeal after it's cooked?"
"um...yes?...I think that's normal" I replied, somewhat taken aback that this was even a question.
"So you cook it, and then put milk over it? I don't think that's normal."
"Yeah, it's just like any other cereal. You don't use milk?"
I receive a wide-eyed glance and then, "No, you've seen me eat it at school... I just cook it, and then eat it."
"Hmm, well I'm pretty sure milk is normal." I continued to defend my oatmeal habits, but to no avail.
"I don't know, but I don't think that's normal. I think it's abnormal."

As you can see, we have a true dilemma here. Please help us out....

Eating your oatmeal with milk, after it's cooked is:
NORMAL or ABNORMAL

All readers of this decree are hereby employed to be enforcers of this banishment, for the good of the prisoner and all other personages coming into close proximity.

Dire consequences are to follow for the non-compliance of this decree.

In the extreme case of complete negligence to this decree, severe punishment may include failure of examination, and therefore failure at life.
