Balance of Food

So I know Saddam Hussein loves Doritos and hates Froot Loops. As tempting as it is to track horrible dictators and their junk food intricacies (did Stalin love pork rinds?), I hope this isn't a trend. Since curiosity keeps me alive, and since I cover food, let's talk about what GQ magazine reported, which was the "lighter" side of Saddam during his capture. Saddam referred to Doritos as "Doris" and inhaled by the bagful, after unaccountably sprinkling them with water first. For a time, his favorite snack was Cheetos. When that ran out, Saddam would "get grumpy" according to GQ. One day, guards substituted Doritos corn chips. In fact, according to the article, he'd eat a family size bag of Doritos in 10 minutes. Saddam liked Raisin Bran Crunch for breakfast and got upset when offered a substitute. He absolutely did not want Froot Loops when that was offered as a substitute. Also, he ate fish and chicken but refused beef.
