Why Is Breakfast The Most Important Meal Of The Day?

Why is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Is breakfast important? We hear this all the time. A slogan that has become common knowledge, that breakfast the most important meal of the day. But has breakfast always been the most important meal of the day, has it even always been a meal?
In this video the origins and history of breakfast are explained. From ancient Egyptians drinking beer all the way to the invention of cereal for religious reasons.

Beer for breakfast? The Egyptians know what up.

[@CogitoEdu]

Makes the Pyramids more impressive when you know everyone was buzzed while building them :D

[@NameExplain]

I can barely tie my shoes when I'm plastered.

[@greyjay9492]

Name Explain can’t believe I’d see you here!

[@gyanchor2495]

Cogito!! You are the best! I had discovered your channel before but recently re-discovered it after the video on Hindus. This breakfast video is top of the shelf! The world is unfair to quality. You should have a million+ subs!

[@reiniertl]

Beer is quite energetic, and not all beers need to be very alcoholic. We will probably never know what that beer's alcohol content was.

[@estebanzhang9139]

I liked that part in 2:20 were you said that people in Europe accepted that life is pain.

[@temmewan7031]

Great video once again, keep going and I've no doubt you'll start getting really popular!

[@CogitoEdu]

Thanks again :D I'm happy that you are enjoying the videos.

[@JackRackam]

Man, it is really weird that cereal caught on the way it did when you think about it. Now I can take smug pride in eating eggs!

[@CogitoEdu]

Yeah for such a widely popular food and especially one targeted at children, it has a bizarre origin. At least eggs have a innocent past :D

[@Persona1996]

- Cogito - how u said it in your video Million of people still eat other stuff for breakfast besides cereal for breakfast

[@Phrenotopia]

Wow! Your animations are getting so much better and better! And I love your personal colour scheme. It really makes it stand out! Interesting video too BTW!

[@CogitoEdu]

Phrenomythic Thank you very much. I'm getting more comfortable with animating and really enjoy the process. I am glad you enjoyed it :D

[@Alliterative]

Great video! And so funny that the video I put out today is (in part) about the history of breakfast too -- but you cover a lot of the details that I had to leave out, and really well.

[@CogitoEdu]

Thank you. I saw your video through the ICG playlist earlier today and thought it was funny how we came out with videos on similar subjects on the same day :D Your video is excellent by the way.

[@Alliterative]

Thanks! :)

[@professorslothingtons7471]

Great video, very informative! I love your channel btw :)

[@karenfisher1111]

This was great! Can you do a similar one on snacks?

[@pellaken]

finally a product for my chronic masturbation problem!!!

[@CogitoEdu]

A lifesaving invention if there ever was one :D

[@deepstrasz]

Love it that you make it thoroughly understandable and funny even children would want to see it.

[@AdelWolf]

Ever think about redoing your old videos? This was good but your delivery and animations are SO much more polished now! I would love to see what you could do with the same script

[@kingskylord6099]

5:05 Grape nuts! You stopped a bit there.

[@CogitoEdu]

I am really happy to hear that. Please let me know if there is anything you would like me to talk about on this channel. :D

[@lynnixvarjo9150]

Interesting . Here in Germany Breakfast is not so about Cereals and Cornflakes and more bout that lovely good tasting german bread or other pastries. Sure we have it here too , but I think for most people here Breakfast (or "early piece" as we call it) means a good bread with some butter and Marmelade or Honey or whatever you eat to that .

[@CogitoEdu]

I used to live in Germany and I still crave those amazing morning pastries.

[@lynnixvarjo9150]

@@CogitoEdu really ? Exciting to Hear , I love them too ^^

[@lynnixvarjo9150]

Hey quick Question apart from the viideos Subject. How is it going with the Series about the Byzantine Empire? I spend aprox. the last Hour watching it , when can we expect another Part ?

[@CogitoEdu]

I'm slowly working away on the Byzantine series. Research has taken more time than expected out of the little free time I have. But I planned to get a few completed soon and will release them as a big special.

[@rohmilchgeniesser]

Thanks a lot. Your comments mean a lot :D

In Chile we only eat a bread with butter and a cup of tea🤠👍🏿

Oh that's awesome dude I live there! I wish I would've found your channel earlier maybe I could've shown you around, hope you enjoyed your visit :D

[@VanDeGraph]

I really like this videos about marketing. I hope you make more!

[@ratmemer]

[@kingskylord6099]

You mention Cheerios, but not the rest of General Mills. They are the kings of advertising when it comes to cereal.

[@fablereader4486]

Nice!

[@CogitoEdu]

:D

[@JOHNCHENSJCA]

It took a long time for me to kick the breakfast cereal habit in favor of real food. - recovering diabetic

[@TrialzGTAS]

I’m big on sausage gravy, beer and last nights left overs for breakfast

[@4silvan.]

man taht was so Interesting

[@ElloLoJo]

Kind of ironically, most of Ireland’s cereal is probably consumed in the evening, or through Rice Krispie buns

[@BrianelSuperMacho]

How the current science square with the idea that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"?

[@karenfisher1111]

How about sugar? Why it's in 75 percent of all of our foods on shelf?

[@CogitoEdu]

That's a cool idea :D

[@ratmemer]

wow

[@qwertylello]

I must be odd (or probably I’m a modern Roman) but I also tend to frown upon breakfast, and despite all the massive marketing for buying cereals I never seemed to catch on them p because I think they are too sweet

[@E.M.Favour]

I am African 🇳🇬 and I think same thing too

[@orpheus1662]

My people ate canjeero a flat bread mate of corn flour with either goat meat camel meet or beef or if you can’t afford mest then you eat with hot tea and honey and butter for thousands of years

[@MCorpReview]

Maybe it’s juz d different time zone in new world. Did post bcuz General Mills?

[@mishapurser7542]

I stopped eating breakfast and drinking coffee fairly recently. I now drink various teas (except black) and don't eat until 13:00. It was really interesting to see the history of breakfast, it just shows how effective marketing can be on mass psychology and folk nutrition.

[@kaly7256]

with the same diet I managed to fill gallstones, fortunately I corrected it with jelly tea from boiled flaxseed (not the seed)

[@RandomAFP]

damn, I really want a bowl of special k now. Unfortunately, I've not bought cereal in ages...

[@SoundBlackRecordings]

Make a video about Breakfast Burritos and how bad an idea that was. LOL

[@CogitoEdu]

Breakfast burritos are a genius idea! How dare you insult their good name.

[@john11719]

MWAHAHAHA! You can't get me breakfast overlords! I do not eat cereal! Or drink coffee! Or Gween tea!

[@MagusMarquillin]

Silly Cogito, Trix is for KIDS! Even you can't figure out why kids love the taste of Cinnamon-Toast-Crunch. Cogito: "um, they were tricked into liking it?" *_NOT!_* 90's kids are independent and they do what they want, *to the Extreme!* _Can't get enough of that sugar crack._

[@MackeyBigBoy4014]

It's just a theory

[@dnojno]

I do not wake up to cereal everyday! Outrageous! Instead, i choose the non-sugary Indomie!

[@HaharuRecords]

Thumbs up for: No for SUGAR🍬

[@importantname]

I eat when im hungry. When I was younger, working hard and training hard, if I was awake I was eating.

[@ratmemer]

XD

[@james.strong]

I’d say Dinner/tea is.

[@phoenixyt5421]

meh I stay loyal to bread

[@jsparrow115]

3:35 I'm an asexual carnivore how to you explain that? (Also breakfast sandwiches >>>>>> cereal)

[@katibrownshire8153]

Wait why did eating breakfast cause indigestion though??

[@TheFGnat]

Probably because the body wasn't used to eating a meal early in the morning? Like it had to work extra hard at a time of day it had been resting before? I've had that experience recently: I stopped eating breakfast for a few months, then started to do so again and I felt really heavy and bloated and not digesting well, it really did feel like my body had to work hard to digest what I had eaten.

[@_damiantre_]

was this about breakfast or cereal?

[@CogitoEdu]

+Damian Treviño Both, but I had to cover cereal in order to show where the slogan "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" came from

[@penguinpingu3807]

I eat cereal as a snack

[@fclp67]

Europe didn't try to fix this problem because they already accepted the problem that life is pain

[@davidtran9314]

so why is it important again?

[@jordank6961]

Europeans accepted long ago that life is pain lol

[@yafetkasalie8070]

Good thing I don't eat cereal for breakfast. I eat rice with eggs, vegetables and chili.

[@cubalibreball3809]

I don't agree with this, I eat a variety of different foods for breakfast every morning. It's actually probably my favorite time to cook.

[@reiniertl]

Because in Cuba there is no cereal eating tradition, but café con leche y pan con mantequilla (si hay mantequilla) are the favorite of many.
