The whole “breakfast cereal” industry is a load of trash. It’s all propaganda that started in the ’40s. People shouldn’t eat much of anything just before bed, and no one needs to eat much of anything in the morning, let alone consume several hundreds of Calories before lunch.
- 100721 4y agoThis post feels intended to resonate with people who already agree with you. Inflammatory language, no citations, and blanket statements of fact. This is how echo chambers are formed.
- VLM 4y agoYet, no factual errors, and the entire product category literally benefits no one except shareholders, certainly of no medical or dietary benefit LOL.
- karaterobot 4y agoNo factual errors? Saying that nobody should eat anything in the morning is almost certainly a factual error. Even if it were true that there were rigorous studies leading to a broad scientific consensus that it is better for most people to avoid certain kinds of food for some period after waking up — which I am fairly sure is not the case — saying nobody should eat anything "in the morning" is just a silly thing to say. I've never seen any reliable science that concluded something so categorical and broad when it comes to nutrition.
- failrate 4y agoThey did not say "eat nothing". They said you do not "need to eat much of anything".
- 100721 4y agoIf there are no factual errors, then reliable citations should be easy enough to provide. I'd like to see the study that says no one (that is, 0.00% of the population) needs to eat much in the morning, let alone several hundred calories before lunch. I wonder if the tallest person alive agrees? Or manual laborers who skip lunch? Or Jonas Scott, a man who has a damaged GI tract? No medical or dietary benefit to "eating much of anything" before lunch? For anybody on the planet? Please think critically.

- RajT88 4y ago> some of us even on this echo chamber do have physically demanding jobs I have observed that people here tend to assume everyone is not just a techie, but a developer, and are mystified by non-dev perspectives on things.

- incone123 4y agoEating a decent breakfast (not sugary cereal) is helpful if you're doing manual work.
- fullshark 4y agoA lot of cultural attitudes re: diet are based on supplying calories to a manual labor force, so much of it really doesn't make sense for office workers.
