Some large multinational businesses — grain, beef, pork and dairy processors — are exploring adding oats to the supply chain, driven by the efforts of large retailers like Walmart to become more sustainable.

Red clover and alfalfa, often grown alongside oats, are legumes that pull nitrogen from the air and "fix it" into the soil, helping fertilize crops that follow them.

He decided on packaging his oats in the round, colorful containers we still see today. That got people noticing his oats It's hard to know if Quaker Oats knew what a revolutionary idea they had when they printed a recipe right on the box.

In , consumers could find a piece of china dishware in their oat boxes, and while that's quite a bit different from the toys we usually expect in today's cereal, they can take credit for this idea, too.
In , boys living at the Fernald State School — a state-run school for abandoned boys — were invited to join the Science Club. According to the Smithsonian , they were given all kinds of incentives to join, like hearty breakfasts starvation was a frequent punishment , and trips to baseball games.
But there was a catch. Quaker Oats had teamed up with researchers from MIT for three experiments involving 74 boys between the ages of 10 and For one, the boys were given breakfasts of Quaker Oats that contained radioactive calcium and iron. The reasoning was twofold. Researchers wanted to know what kind of effects radioactivity had on the human body, as more people were being exposed to it than ever before.
Quaker Oats wanted in on the study because they saw it as a way to prove their oatmeal was just as healthy as their Cream of Wheat competitors. They got their medical testing done, MIT got their results Sort of. A lawsuit found that while the radioactivity hadn't been enough to cause lasting damage, the boys involved were entitled to a settlement and apology.
In , the Environmental Working Group — the same group that releases the Dirty Dozen list — tested multiple breakfast foods for the presence of glyphosate. That's stuff found in weed-killer, and specifically, in Roundup.
When they released their results, they said via Business Insider that among the foods that tested positive for the chemical were Quaker Oats. Other breakfast foods were also found to contain the weed-killer chemical, like Cheerios and Lucky Charms. In fact, 31 of the 45 samples of oats tested were deemed to be below their safety criteria, and when they went back and tested more samples of both Quaker Oats and Cheerios, they found that all but two of 28 samples were deemed "harmful.
But, are they? There's a heated debate going in the scientific community about just how dangerous glyphosate is.
