American breakfast is so weird. It's a meal of either pure sugar (breakfast cereal, orange juice) or sugar and butter (breakfast pastries). And I highly doubt that, in some hypothetical idyllic past where everyone ate breakfast before heading out into the field for a long day of backbreaking work, people were eating pop tarts and croissants and not, oh, I don't know, some kind of porridge or gruel.
- kylecazar 5y agoIts worst with kids, where I think you're right -- mostly sugar, unless deliberately avoided. I think adults eat more normal breakfasts, on average at least. I personally eat eggs & black coffee every day, most of my friends will have eggs and toast, or oatmeal or, something else reasonable.

- bvandrunen 5y agoI don’t know I have to imagine that sort of breakfast has sharply dropped in popularity over the past decade or two. Growing up in the 90s it was always cereal or oatmeal or eggos but I haven’t had any of those in our pantry for probably 5 years. Yogurt with granola or a kind bar is pretty much all I eat for breakfast during the week if anything. Eggs and bacon on the weekend.
