Your Next Bowl of Oatmeal May Be Free

Complimentary oatmeal and “energy smoothies” will be available next tomorrow morning in Times Square from 7-10:30. Oprah’s former personal chef Art Smith will be doling out oatmeal personally from 7-8 a.m.; the hot breakfast stunt, taking place smack dab in the middle of Times Square, is being held to announce the formation of a new “end childhood hunger” campaign. The Quaker Oats Co. is teaming up with Smith and organization Share Our Strength for something called the “Go Project,” which will be introduced next week with the tagline “Go Humans Go,” which sounds something like a weird radio telescope pep rally cry from outer space. On Monday, bring a piece of non-perishable food to the oatmeal bonanza; a food drive is also taking place at the event.
