Cereal is eaten religiously for breakfast by many.

  The same can be said of any place. What's your point? The argument the article makes is that restaurant breakfasts are essentially crap -- that does not mean that's what the traditional or standard fare for breakfast in the US. I was born and raised here: yeah, we ate cereals on occasion, but not generally sugary ones (usually things like plain cheerioes, chex, etc.) -- my parents refused to get the horribly sugary crap like fruit loops, so it was at least marginally better. More often, though, we had basted eggs, bacon, and hash browns with toast. Usually kept me running all day. Nowadays I usually end up making a latte and having a bowl of oatmeal. I take one look at most breakfast menus and immediately start to feel sick. If I do end up going out for breakfast, usually I'll fall back to the same standby basted egg breakfast -- though usually restaurant cooks have no idea how to baste. Generally, I'd suggest going to Waffle House if you do go out in the US -- they serve what is generally considered to be the standard American breakfast. Very nice eggs, good grits, etc.
