No, actually. I think it would unironically be better to get all your calories and nutrition from bread, cheese, and sausage than to have a diet consisting of any variety of high-sugar, ultra-processed food.

Also breakfast is completely optional and its promotion as "the most important meal of the day" is a scam to sell more cereal, milk, and eggs. I will die on that hill.

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My hill to die on is that breakfast is the only meal that you can work the calories off all day. Eat what you want for breakfast but have a lighter lunch and even lighter evening meal.

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well technically you're burning the same number of calories regardless of the time of day they were consumed, and two meals per day is a lot easier to keep at 2000 calories (as a rule of thumb - different for everybody) than three meals per day.

Personally I like to keep the digestive process dormant for as long as possible. Eating breakfast makes me hungrier throughout the day, so I end up snacking more than I otherwise would. I've never been a breakfast eater though so I'm pretty well wired not to break fast until lunch.

Edit: also heavy foods require rest and digestion that I do not have time for most mornings

[–] Ordinary_Person@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Also breakfast is completely optional

Yes for some, no for others? When I was a kid I hated having breakfast. My stomach would feel weird if I ate within the first two or three hours of being awake. But now, I need something. Nothing heavy. Some toast and peanut butter is good enough. If not, I get sick to my stomach. I would assume I'm not the only one who is like this.

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

aha, hence why I said optional. If you want/need it, have it. If you don't want or need it, it doesn't actually harm you in any universally applicable way to just wait until lunch.

[–] Ordinary_Person@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Valid point. touché

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh yes the famous nation of Europe. An entire continent full of nations and different cultures been rendered down to the stereotypes of the occupants of a single city.

Americans need to get out more.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (4 children)
[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

imagine if someone is complaining about Americans, and interchangeably refering to Canadians/mexicans/Argentinians...

You damn Americans, always saying sorry with your mate thermos, carnival music mariachis...

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

If they did it in a meme they posted in a community with shitpost in the name I can't say I would pay it much mind or take any personal offense to it, no. That seems to be a uniquely European thing

I'm not from Europe. But I agree with them. A dumb meme is a dumb meme

Fuck, that one on the right looks so good, but only missing a croissant.

This is the Parisian breakfast. Nothing compared to the Lyonnais breakfast

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Well I’m definitely going to need a a Parisian breakfast after having all of that

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Damn I want to go to Lyon now

How DARE you to include Nutella in that American stuff!

Almost spit my cigarette in my coffee in disgust.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 2 days ago (9 children)

It's 50% fat, 50% sugar and disgusting so I get the confusion. But it's indeed Italian.

Is that a pack of Marlboro cigarettes? Every real European knows that a proper coffee & cigarettes breakfast requires Gauloises.

Don't compare all of Europe to France! The French love their despresso, that's on them.

FAKE NEWS! The cigarette packs are now all black.

Otherwise spot on.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And it should be a pack of gitanes.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Once I started skipping breakfast, I felt more awake in the morning. Not only that, but I had more time to get ready for work. My real problem is how to consume less calories, not more.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 78 points 2 days ago (20 children)

It's actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 34 points 2 days ago (8 children)

The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand...

This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn't sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.

(I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 days ago (26 children)

On the "Europeans" side that's at least 2 decades out of date.

The expresso coffee part is still true in a good part of Europe, but pretty much everywhere in it nowadays only a small fraction of people smoke and even those who do can't actually do it inside a coffee shop because they're not allowed to smoke there anymore, which spoils a great deal of the enjoyment of having a morning coffee.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 15 points 2 days ago

I live in Germany and work with Turks, Poles, Ukrainians, Romanians, a Greek and a Slovenian. This meme is accurate for all of us. Weekends are a different story of course but in my experience this is indeed the true business day continental breakfast.

Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of heart disease and cancer globally. If you smoke, quitting is the biggest thing you can do to improve your health

To be fair, cigarettes and coffee are probably healtier than all those foodproduct items on the left.

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Junk food is bad? Yeah, sure. Cigarettes are healthier than junk food? No way. Either you're a guerilla cigarette advertisement or you've gone off the deep end.

[–] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 61 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Either you’re a guerilla cigarette advertisement or you’ve gone off the deep end.

There's also the third possibility of making a joke …

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)
