    Yes, big breakfast came up with breakfast to sell you more breakfast.

    Kellogg’s started it and then the milk, egg, and bacon producers piled on because they love money.

      Preach. They stole our mornings from us and sold it back to us as a fake, made–up mealtime, and everyone played along. Everyone bought the lie.

      “Hazel, you need to eat!”

      Yeah? Right now? When I have no appetite, and a million better things to do? Sure, I’ll drop everything and slog my way through this meal for which I have only disdain and revulsion. 👍🏻

    Edward Bernays came up with the idea of “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” to sell bacon. He is considered the father of marketing based on feelings and not facts.

      I’ll have to check out that documentary. Wild that it was specifically for selling bacon. I thought the OGs of deceptive breakfast marketing would be the cereal people.

    Beware of the cereal killers, and the cake liars, with their fluffy tortillas! No matter how long you wait the tart does not pop. There is no galactic senate or jedi in the flaky croissant! They have played us for fools!

    Breakfast only exists cause they know you’d only eat waffles if they didn’t have their own meal. Big chicken controls your life
