My last post was about about breakfast, I mean dessert. What’s the difference? The point of it is that if you break down the ingredients in your typical breakfast, it’s nothing more than dessert consumed early in the day. My suggestion was that maybe you should skip it. I thought that was pretty clear but then got tons of feedback with questions about what should they eat for breakfast?
Let me be clear. Breakfast isn’t that important. What sparked my writing of the last post was the news of the researchers being paid in the 1960’s to shift the blame of heart disease away from sugar and onto fat. Then one of those scientists becoming the head of the USDA’s nutritional guidelines, which happened to start the ‘fat is bad’ campaign, brain washing you the past 40 years.
I feel I need to shed some light on another myth.
Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day
Where did this come from? It came from a major publication, Good Health. I’m sure you have seen this in the check out lanes at your favorite grocery store or drug store.
Did you know it was once edited by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg? And in that magazine in 1917, an article written called ‘August Breakfasts’ by Lenna F. Cooper makes a passing statement that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I don’t know if Ms. Cooper was the first to ever say this but it becomes a catchy phrase to someone with the last name of Kellogg. Yes, that Kellogg.
