Current Events > Why do Americans Eat Dessert for Breakfast?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Donuts suck. You'd be laughed out of the room if you served them as desserts, so they are stuck in this weird limbo as a not very filling and ridiculously unhealthy breakfast. Also most donut flavors are garbage. Jelly? FOH

the amount of sugar we have in general is disgustingly excessive, but especially so in breakfast foods. for a long time i bought the regular Quaker instant oatmeal flavor variety, then i noticed that each packet has like 12g of sugar. i also used to drink OJ every morning, then i realized that's basically just liquid sugar (delicious liquid sugar). i moved to low sugar oatmeal (4g vs 12g) and cut the OJ and i feel so much better in the morning. i no longer have that sugar drag / crash. feels good man.

Weird. The box of original Quaker instant oatmeal I have has 0g of sugar in it.

You sure that wasnt the apple cinnamon or brown sugar oatmeal you had?

Of those, I can only really eat waffles or pancakes as a meal.

All the other is just sugar that burns right through me and keeps me hungry. I don't know why I ever ate them in the morning.

I typically eat 1-3 of these things for breakfast depending on when I wake up and whether I have milk or water with breakfast.

-2-4 Turkey Sauasage links
-Lite Strawberry Banana yogurt
-2 Blueberry Waffles
-Bowl Cheerios
-Bowl Cinnamon Toast Crunch
-Banana
-Cream of Wheat(Usually plain)
-Oatmeal(Regular with a little milk. Maybe very light syrup or some cinnamon added. Or apple cinnamon flavor)
-Some kind of nut. Almond or sunflower usually.

Yeah I only eat donuts a few times a year.

Pretty sure you lose a day of your life everytime you have a donut. A single one is like your entire daily value of fat and sugar.

Americans....

TC is thinking of the continental breakfast which was a term the British came up with for breakfast to please the delicate types of mainland Europe. Americans adopted both the traditional and continental breakfasts and mashed them together like real men should.

polysaccharides are a great way to start the day.

Pancakes have been in the west since the Wild West.

I don't eat none of this garbage but breakfast and other meals are different for people. I have a friend who eats breakfast at 10pm because of his work schedule

Muffins, donuts, pancakes, waffles, cereal filled with sugar, poptarts, etc.

Because they got brainwashed into thinking sugar is okay because it gives you energy to start the day and fat is bad by food companies.

Fun Fact : The name "Sweden" is derived from the English word "Sweeten".

When Americans first discovered the Scandinavian country back in 1884, they thought the snow laying on the ground was sugar, hence the name.

It wouldn't be until the mid-1920s that some actually tried to eat the "sugary topography" only to discover that it was actually ground ice.

Haha! This is the best response.
