A breakfast food company perhaps.

It’s long been part of standard advice from the nutritionists.

And “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” soon became an easily parroted assertion for parents, teachers and other authority figures.

See my monologue on “if nutrition was a science”.

Start your day with a gobful of cereal,
Or by lunch you’ll be wilting, pining and ethereal,
Fat and emaciated, mouldy and bacterial,
Lacking in fibre both moral and material.

Probably depends on whether you are going to bed with a full stomach the night before.

I do the no or very late breakfast thing by default. Dunno how good it is for weight loss.. probly need to incorporate no lunch and no dinner..
