Why Americans Eat Dessert for Breakfast

[@johnnyharris]

Hey thanks for watching! A couple things: I have a patreon where I share map backgrounds from videos as well as the actual scripts, you can find that here: www.patreon.com/johnnyharris I had custom presets & luts that I use to color my videos and photos. I developed them over a year with a professional colorist. In incase that’s interesting to you, here they are: store.dftba.com/collections/johnny-harris/products/johnny-iz-luts-and-presets Lastly, let me know if there is a video you’d like me to make, I’m always on the lookout for ideas and want to know what you’d like to see: www.johnnyharris.ch/submit-ideas

[@user-te5po4bu8o]

This didn’t really explain why it’s like this. Diner breakfast came from our farming days. Most of America used to be a farm. We ate foods from the farm that were incredibly calorie dense in order to maintain the energy to do farm work. Cereal breakfast came from the 40s and 50s. No longer on farms, but still lacking a lot in transportation in our gigantic country, we had basically no fresh food. Hence everything came in a can or a box (you know all those weird preserved food recipes from the 50s) We just continued these two traditions.

It's crazy to me, born and raised in the U.S. I always assumed these "American Breakfast" foods were reserved for a special occasion, like a big family breakfast. And I guess that's because my mom only let me eat this way on the rare occasion we went out to a diner or something. We did eat non-sweet cereal, but the sweet stuff was only purchased once on a blue moon as a dessert item. I guess now, as an adult, I noticed people commenting on me eating things like rice and beans for breakfast and I thought, "hm, but why wouldn't I eat this for breakfast?" Then came the realization that a lot of people, even as adults, eat dessert for breakfast!

[@TheSpeedyLoonyCanoli]

Eh i don’t really like the video cus it makes it seem like we just wanted to eat this shit. Nah traditional American breakfast; eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee has a historical reason. Before industrialization many families were laborers and farmers, eggs were cheap and easily attainable, and bacon was readily accessible with pigs being common livestock in many towns and family farms. Of course grains were important to grow and america basically ran on coffee since its inception. Like most big businesses the grain industry went on an advertising frenzy, marketing cereals and seed oils as healthy alternatives by being ‘low fat’, ‘low cholesterol’, and ‘easily digestible for quick energy’, theres a big market for “on the go food” as fast food is prevalent in the US.

In this case he's probably feigning his ignorance for the purpose of engagement. An old writing trick when covering subjects that you expect your readers/audience to be unfamiliar with is to pretend to be unfamiliar with it yourself going in or to recount the process of how you became familiar with it, if you watch a lot of documentaries or "edutainment" (particularly the stuff aimed at kids) you should have an idea of what I'm talking about. It helps to craft something of a narrative around otherwise boring information dumps where your audience could easily tune out. After all "guy explains American breakfast" is inherently less interesting than "guy discovers how interesting non-American breakfast is, realizes that American breakfast is stupid, and then incorporates non-American food into his own breakfast" I doubt that there are any Americans out there that would actually be surprised by the fact the different people have different morning meals or different ideas of when to eat.

You had a point until you started to refer to "metabolism" as this mythical thing. Your metabolism just describes the energy your body needs to function daily, it cannot just ""slow down"". Even relatively small changes would be the result of things like losing weight (especially muscle mass) or be very noticeable otherwise (like feeling very cold). Even the most (in)famous issue hypothyroidism is generally known for causing severe feelings of coldness and lethargy and generally at worst lowers your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE in short) by 100-200 kcal (that's about 5-12%) and, as said, is usually extremely noticeable because, surprise, your body actually needs that energy to make things work, it's not burning it for shits and giggles. Now, what sugars and simple carbs DO tend to do is make you hungry again relatively quickly and not provide the satiety that most foods that aren't hyperprocessed would which combined with the high energy density in these foods means it's extremely easy to overeat. Combine that with a more sedentary lifestyle (thus less muscle mass which tends to be energy expensive and less exercise which burns calories), a culture based heavily around cars and a lot of more-or-less overt propaganda and lobbying to disinform consumers and keep making profits off of people's overconsumption and you've basically got a perfect storm.

[@psychoedge]

Coming from Germany we do have a lot of people consuming cheap high sugar cereals (that were introduced to us after WW2 by the US). If your family didn't follow that trend it probably goes with the narrowed down version of the classic "continental breakfast": Sourdough or bread roll sandwiches with sliced meats, (cottage) cheese and some vegetables like cucumber, bell pepper, carrots or tomatoes. Or topped with jam or nutella if you're a sweet tooth. Some also swear on eating porridge or joghurt/milk and oats and fruits. All this is a bit more convenient than actually cooking for breakfast as you can easily take the sandwiches and vegetables with you in your lunch box (which we use for breakfast as well). On weekend/days off you'd usually just go with a more wider range of breads, charcuterie, dairy products and also occasionally cooked/fried eggs.

[@LabGecko]

To be clear for the non-traveled Americans that may see this, an _actual_ European "Continental" breakfast is as described above, not the stacks of single-person sugar cereal and stale donuts offered by most American hotels. The EU breakfasts I've seen tend to be a wide array of sliced fruit, cheeses, breads, meats, and a variety of tea, coffee, and juices. And most patrons only choose a few of those, not multiple plates like a US buffet. The fare also tends toward local produce over shipped because that's what the markets have, and tends to be (much) fresher as a result.

[@angelatran1394]

I wish this video discussed more about the why’s of American breakfast as opposed to what it is? It would’ve been interesting to learn more about why and how American breakfasts ended up this way, which what I expected from the title and the description???

[@TheBusyJane]

There's multiple factors, all of which I'm sure I don't know. Marketing in the 50s and 60s is definitely one. Another he glossed over when he talked about the similarity to English breakfast is that those were working class breakfasts first for farmers and other laborers who were out in the field all day and needed the calories, then people working in factories for 16 hours a day. Just watched further into the video and wanted to clarify, I'm talking about factories in the late 19ht/early 20th century. When he talks about industrialization he's actually talking about post industrialization.
