Who’s the grand Poobah of food labeling? Who decides what food goes into what category of breakfast, lunch and dinner? I need to have a talk with them… and by talk, I mean introducing them to this package of frozen sausage patties, boot camp blanket party style.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) should be force fed MRE’s for not updating our antiquated food pyramid since the great depression.
Thanks farm lobbyists.
If I’m slinging corn and wheat like an opioid dealer, what better way is there to get the government to declare it’s healthy for you, then by greasing the palms of lawmakers, and getting subsidies from Uncle Sam. It’s a win win.
The United States is BEYOND being the fattest country on the planet.
We eat for luxury.
We eat for boredom.
We eat for fun.
We eat to soothe depression.
We eat for celebration.
See where I’m going with this? Most animals, (excluding the nocturnal ones) stop eating after the sunsets. Not us. Homo sapiens like to eat 24/7. Then there’s marketing. You’ve seen those food commercials in HD. It’s food porn. You’re pupils dilate, your brain releases endorphins, and you just gotta have it. I get it.
Eating for sustenance hasn’t been cool since the Great Depression, but gorging yourself late night while watching a Netflix marathon is a surefire way to diabetes.
You know what the average breakfast at Denny’s or an IHOP is?
Stacks of pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, AND hash browns with toast. I can feel my glucose levels rising just talking about it. All carbs and fat is not an ideal way to break your fast. WHERE IS THE DAMN PROTEIN? In the eggs? Sure, if I wanted the figure of a prepubescent boy.
It’s too minuscule an amount for any athletic adult. No one wants to eat 6-8 eggs every day, although it wouldn’t be a first for me. Bacon? Sausage? Let me be clear…I’ve eaten a whole pack of delicious, crisp warm and tasty and satisfying bacon in one sitting and I wasn’t ashamed in the slightest. Oh bacon, how I love thee. Let me count the ways.
I’m starting to smell bacon right now…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Sorry, where was i….
Attention Facebook denizens! Stop subscribing to nonsense. Chicken, fish and beef are FINE to eat in the morning. Protein = Amino Acids = Muscle =a healthy fat burning metabolism all day long as long as your body is in motion. Ever have chicken and broccoli for breakfast? I have. And I’ve gotten weird looks like I was breaking some secret code or something. But huffing down flapjacks like they’re going to be discontinued is perfectly ok?
Expand your dietary horizons. Eat better. Stop eating so late. Stop labeling foods and when to eat them.
Paleo for the win. Although I prefer a modified paleo diet, I like Steve Kamb’s site. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10/04/the-beginners-guide-to-the-paleo-diet/
The Economy of Words 
Ha ha- Great article! Thanks man.
Got 3 words to add. “Steak and eggs”
In the 1920s that’s what the men on the Olympics teams would eat before their competitions.
Where did we get off on Cap’n-Choco-Sugar-Bombs, and those stupid Danishes they serve at hotels every morning? Or even 2 miserable little eggs on 4 slices of toast with a couple of bacon strips? Who perpetrated this crime?
awesome comment Tom. Steak and eggs….if only I could enjoy a New York Strip with a side omelet stuffed full of bacon every day! Ever have steak and eggs from Waffle house and regretted it 2 hours later? I spit at the feet of the Waffle house genius who created that tortuous recipe.
