Answer 2

"The first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was invented in 1863 by James C. Jackson. It was a form of whole grain flour dough baked into dry leaves, broken into chunks and baked again, and then ground into still smaller chunks."

Taken directly from the American Cereal Council website. Ain't Google fun? :-)

Edit:

According to the American Cereal Council, Mr. Jackson beat Mr. Kellog to the punch by over 30 years. Jackson's product may not have been the first mass-marketed ready to eat cereal like Kellog's, but it was still the first on the market.

And would the American Cereal Council LIE to us??
