Big Breakfast

You know, I'm always running into people who don't eat breakfast. It then doesn't seem all that surprising to me that the world is falling apart.
You know when you were a kid, and things seemed to suck, so you'd throw a tantrum or cry or do something pointless. Mom'd say "oh you're just hungry", or "tired." At the time you thought mom was on drugs or something, but after eating or sleeping you admittedly felt better. The same thing basically applies to grown ups, but instead of crying and throwing tantrums, they're just jerks.
I think people skip breakfast because they don't think they have time in the morning, or they think it's a good way to lose a few pounds. But that's chump talk. Breakfast is the one meal you can get away with overeating. Chances are you're going to burn off whatever you eat in the morning, unless your job is lying down on a couch watching TV (If that's your job, proceed. Kudos). And if you're like me and most North-Americans you love eating. Plus just about every breakfast food is yummy, and you can get superstitious about a Novotel mug.
I must admit, making real breakfast every morning does take a bit longer than not eating, but the feeling good and extra energy makes up for that half hour extra sleep you might have gotten. Did I mention breakfast is yummy?

In case you need further support for your breakfast dogma, this made headlines recently: Skipping breakfast is associated with more overweightedness.
