There's a 'natural/evolutionary' argument to be made in favor of skipping breakfast too: most animals do not store food and need to hunt or forage as and when hunger arises. This requires a certain amount of time and activity. So it's unlikely that animals have evolved a need to eat first thing in the morning.
- lkrubner 11y agoAre you aware how broad a term "animals" is? The term includes hawks, ants, turtles, snakes, trout, leeches, sharks, jellyfish, lions, coral, alligators and many more. It includes all vertebrates, but it is not limited to vertebrates. The diversity of eating habits in animals defies easy generalizations. Maybe jellyfish do skip breakfast, but that does not tell you whether humans should skip breakfast.
- kbutler 11y agoYou can find a natural/evolutionary argument (justification) for just about anything: Animals don't store food and need to hunt or forage..., so the metabolism is reduced until the first meal to prevent excess consumption of stored fat resources. Isn't starvation a more plausible danger in nature than dying of overconsumption?
