More Thoughts on Breakfast

As described in "Thoughts on Breakfast", cereal boxes continually say how wonderful breakfast is. Here's one example, copied word for word from a Kellog's Cocoa Krispies box.

Start your day with a delicious bowl of Kellog's cereal and you'll benefit from it's nutrients. That's right, research shows that breakfast is linked to having a healthy body weight. Breakfast eaters have healthier body weights than those who skip breakfast. In fact, studies show eating cereal as part of a nutritious breakfast is important for both children and adults to promote healthy weight.

Lies. All lies. My dad has been not eating breakfast for some time now and he's losing weight. Just another gimmick to sell cereal. What's the world coming to?
