So what is the typical American breakfast? If I go to the continental breakfast of the typical low-priced hotel I will find bagels, cereal with a jug of skim or 2% low-fat milk, blueberry muffin, non-fat yogurt, toast, orange or apple juice and maybe a banana or an orange. This is a breakfast that is sure to cause obesity and will lead you onto a path toward chronic diseases and an early grave. Take note that these are all refined foods and all high in refined carbohydrates. Now at the higher priced hotels there might be a tub of over-cooked scrambled eggs with bacon and sausage. There may even be a waffle maker where you try to figure out how to make your own waffle. Now let me tell you, it is the propaganda issued by the food giants that has lead to this being a typical American breakfast.
