I saw in the Chicago Tribune today that Robert O. Nesheim died. As a nutritionist and Vice president of Research and Development with Quaker Oats for over 30 years, he helped develop Life and Cap'n Crunch brand cereals. After retiring from Quaker Oats in 1983, he worked for the Advanced Healthcare Division of Avadyne Inc in California. Continuing his work in nutrition research, from 1983-1998 he was on a committee which developed guidelines for the military.
Born on a farm in Illinois, he had a bachelor's degree in Agriculture; Master's in Animal Science; and Doctorates in Nutrition and Animal Science -- all from the University of Illinois.
I trust the nutritionists developing food products for today are as well-qualified as mr. Robert Nesheim was!
