I think I might have missed some sort of memo that goes out to people
when they become adults, the anti-breakfast memo. I have been talking
about this with people for a few years now, they just don’t eat
breakfast. I got in a conversation with people about this at work today
and a couple of weeks ago with other co-workers about the same topic.
None of them eat breakfast. The same could be said for many of my
friends. And a lot of other former co-workers. People say they don’t
have time to eat, but if any meal is quick, its breakfast, after all,
it even has the word fast in it. I just can’t understand how people
can’t have time. People, you have to make time for 3 square meals a
day. I mean, aren’t you hungry when you wake up? I know I
am……….shit, I have to have my breakfast while reading my sports
section each morning. A lot of people say their stomach can’t handle
food that early in the morning, I don’t see how this makes sense. What
is it about food before, say, 9AM that makes people not feel good. What
is it that happens to them during the night that upsets their stomach?
What, are these people being abducted by aliens and the aliens are
giving them some sorta of anti-breakfast probe? Or perhaps the people
behind dinner are involved in some sort of government conspiracy to get
people not to eat breakfast so that they will have bigger meals during
the day? Maybe they sneak into people’s houses during the night and
drug them. It would make sense for dinner to do something like this,
after all, dinner has got to be jealous, breakfast and lunch fuck like
rabbits, they even have an offspring called brunch. It stands to reason
that dinner might get a tad bit jealous.Still, I’m a big breakfast guy. I love cereal. Love pancakes
(especially blueberry) and waffles, among many other foods. Why skip
it, its too tasty. And when people do choose to eat breakfast,
they have the “adult” cereals, such as Cheerios and Corn Flakes. Why
can’t they have Count Chocula or Cocco Puffs, or even Waffle Crisp? Or
Oreo O’s. Because of this bias in favor of the adult cereals and the
lack of more people buying the good stuff, it might kill off some of my
favs. And I will be damned if I’m going to go to a funeral for Count
Chocula. I swear, I don’t know what I would do if there was no more
Count Chocula. Somebody has to put a stop to this anti-breakfast
movement. Is there nothing we can do? And I didn’t even get into Pop
Tarts, which would be even more of a reason to eat breakfast. Pleaes
people, what about the kids? The kids that are counting on people to
support the likes Mr. Chocula or Tucan Sam. All I ask is that you think
of them when your heartless soul wakes up tomorrow and heads straight
for the shower instead of the breakfast table.

I actually feel sick if I don’t eat breakfast, especially if I wake up very early. A lot of people are used to drink coffee in the morning, no breakfast, but I don’t drink coffee at all, so some honey and tea for breakfast is heavenly (to me). N.
Most of the time I just don’t feel ready to eat right after I wake up. However, I force myself to eat breakfast (usually a bowl of corn flakes, some toast, a banana and some orange juice) mainly because people who eat breakfast tend to be in better shape, as they burn more calories during the day. The more you eat (healthy food!) the more your metabolism rises. An we all know that’s what’s good to have…
