Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Why, there’s nothing starts the day off right like a healthy breakfast. Don’t you think?
Take this meal for example. There’s no meat, no wheat, no dairy, no animal products, no grains or preservatives. Looks like a healthy breakfast, walks like a healthy breakfast but still kind of quacks like a duck. Probably the only thing missing is a decaf soy flat white.
It’s the concept of breakfast, but it’s not breakfast.
Personally, I think that a good concept is the basis of everything, it’s the sui generis energy that brings a great end product.
I mean, we’ve all had breakfast a thousand times, but what is it that really makes it a meal?
Gotta run - I smell bacon cooking.
