Your diet is your own business of course, but a burger for breakfast is… unusual, right?

Not a burger: ground beef and eggs scrambled, with potatoes and whatever fruit-of-the-week on the side. Yes it's a post-gym meal :)

  I'm not sure "gym goer" defines the "average American " :). So I think you can consider your regular breakfast to be an outlier with regard to beef consumption.

    Outliers are more likely to post their experiences, and those unusual experiences are then also more likely to be shared. It can make for a skewed perception of the world if someone consumes a lot of media (or other secondhand information) and allows it to shape their worldview.

      And to your point, I think the psychology of someone in the comment section is to react to broad statements like they are Sudoku puzzle where you can "solve" by finding an exception to a broad statement, however rare the exception.

    The administration putting out the "eat more meat" guidance is simultaneously telling everyone they need to work out. The recommendation seems consistent when their started goal is to change current "American" habits.

ground beef can be more things than a burger. every breakfast joint near me in California has some sort of variation on hamburg steak & eggs. Judging by the fact that it's on every menu, it must be popular to some degree.

I was thinking more as a unit of measurement, but yeah, sorry that was poorly written on my part, sorry. > every breakfast joint near me in California has some sort of variation on hamburg steak & eggs. Judging by the fact that it's on every menu, it must be popular to some degree. Sure. The diners near me have that kind of stuff too, just, if I went to a diner every morning my heart would probably revolt after about a month.

  People go to "breakfast joints" for a weekend treat, not an everyday meal.

A burger is close to a sausage McMuffin which I'm sure some percentage eat for brekky every day.
