Oaty outreach

Eye’s exploration of ‘The porridge peculiarity’ (22 September) prompted one trusty reader to pay extra attention to a certain cereal producer’s advertising.

Meg Hill, of Preston Patrick Meeting, writes: ‘Following the piece in Eye about Quaker Oats I was amused to see an advert on television whose punchline was “Feed the Fire Inside”.

‘Intrigued, I looked up some more of their statements about their product and found “Fill your life with goodness that inspires great days” and “At Quaker, our fire inside is driven by a desire to set the foundations for a better future”. Perhaps we should ask them to do more outreach for us?’
