French term or phrase: grano
On tombe dans le grano

??granola

I have some terms in a translation that I am not 100% sure of - I don't normally work with Canadian French.

If my colleagues would be so kind as to help me out...thanks very much! If you think these should be non-pro, I will change the classification.

Although they would fit the "tree hugger" profile to a T and are generally environmentally aware. the "grano(la)" are more typically the health-food conscious crowd, that would choose organic foods and fight GMOs.
