- alfiedotwtf 2y ago”Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” — Advertising slogan, Kellogg’s 1917
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoThat slogan is an oversimplification but if I eat a bowl of steel cut at 7am I won't snack or be hungry until 2pm or later. Whether or not I eat this will have a strong impact on my day. Sounds important IMO
- aziaziazi 2y agoSteel Cut is non-whole oat cut in small bits for those wondering. I had to google, didn’t know if you were joking.
- herbst 2y agoI won't snack or am hungry before 17:00, usually not before 20:00 except I do sports or something, then I may need a snack around 14:00. If I do eat early my body takes hours to get to full energy again. It literally makes me tired. My girlfriend doesn't work that way. And I have no idea why this works so well for me.
- phil21 2y agoDepends on the person. If I eat breakfast I feel like crap for 2-3 hours afterwards. I have friends who can't function for the day before eating first. It's certainly not the most important meal of the day in general. Especially as a societal meme that came directly from an advertising campaign for a cereal manufacturer.
- sabbaticaldev 2y agoIf I don’t eat breakfast I won’t snack or be hungry until 5pm so the slogan isn’t a oversimplification, it’s marketing
