Is it really the 'most important meal of the day'? Even mainstream media now admits that breakfast was an invention of Kellog and the cereal industry to make profit:
''These religious health gurus opened sanatoriums and introduced people to vegetarian diets and eating bland, whole wheat as a way to counter ill health. The first cereal, invented by James Caleb Jackson, and the better known Kellogg’s brand, invented by John Harvey Kellogg, were both born at sanatoriums.
Jackson was a preacher, and Kellogg a religious man who believed that masturbation was the greatest evil, which bland, healthy foods like corn flakes could prevent. Both Jackson and Kellogg were early Seventh-day Adventists, further tying a sense of religious morality into their ideas around the importance of healthy eating.''

Seems the myth is still promulgated today by nutrition science that if you skip breakfast, you are eventually going to drop dead from a heart attack:
Do we really need breakfast or is it a conspiracy from lobbyists ?

I’ve been skipping breakfast for years (intermittent fasting), and I’m still alive and healthy.
I would call it a myth lol. Tons of people like to eat in the mornings……Also been around since before Kellogs lol
I love breakfast. I do twelve-hour fasts between meals, so breakfast is my favorite. Nothing like two fried eggs on homemade bread with butter and some steak.
Every single detail of Western life and habits are a result of social engineering now.
For the last 4 or 5 generations.
There hasn’t been any authentic social movement since before the fucking paper mill was invented.
I don’t ever eat breakfast. My thought, with absolutely zero scientific backing, is that humans aren’t necessarily meant to wake up and immediately eat. Other creatures have to do something physical to find and obtain food. I wake up and work out. I eat a snack about four hours after waking and my first meal around eight hours after waking.
