JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

i don’t think your definition goes far enough to distinguish clearly between granola and muesli. from what i see on grocery store shelves, granola typically has sugar or some other sweetener (honey, agave syrup, etc) as the second ingredient. one function of the sweetener is to bind the various grains and nuts together when the mass is baked. the resulting granola has a crunchiness to it.

muesli typically has no sweetener added, nor is it baked or toasted. i guess you could say that muesli is the less processed food; it’s certainly less crunchy.

each serves its function. it’s easier to snack on crunchy granola than dry muesli, for example, if that’s of interest to you.
