RE: Do you need to eat something just because it is there?

Mindless Eating

is what we Americans do best - and an American pushed the idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Now Dr. Oz is on the bandwagon refuting that one. Thanks for this post - peer pressure and obligatory consumption may have clogged a lot of arteries!

    Just to how how easily we are misinformed and misled, and scientists for decades told us to start the day with breakfast:

    How lobbyists made breakfast 'the most important meal of the day'

    It was a combination of fear of indigestion, religious moralization and advertising that helped push the idea of breakfast as the most important meal of the day - but it was a campaign to sell more bacon that really solidified the idea. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/nov/28/breakfast-health-america-kellog-food-lifestyle

    "As for those who claim they ARE hungry first thing in the AM ... Dr. Oz says you're mistaken -- it's actually just withdrawals because you're a food junkie."

      I think worldwide they pushed breakfast is important. We never have breakfast it is too much.
      I believe the pushing is a leftover behavior from how we ate raised by those who survived the war, were really hungry.

        The war, and the Great Depression.... I experienced none of it firsthand, but my grandparents did, so my parents got indoctrinated, and I got it full-blast, but finally, fourth generation, my offspring resisted. Wait until the shortages hit!

          @carolkean Will the shortages hit us? If so.I hope the fatties and high consumers first. I am.still shocked if I see what we looked like in the 60 and 70-s. Look at those old commercials.

          How is your weight lost doing? You do not like to join #hasil2020?

          Happy day ❤️

            A food shortage could be a good thing, if it affected only those who need to lose weight. Most Americans are overfed, but we have food scarcity here too. #FoodInsecure.

              @carolkean What numbers or stats? If you set one target like growing SP you only need to keep an eye on that. Enjoy your day. ❤️

                I saw numbers... that's all I remember right now.
                I'll persist. And I'll get my dust vote up from that worthless one cent!
                Thanks!
