It’s like how cereal companies warped the american breakfast that my own parents get weird feelings when I advocate eating breakfasts from other cultures that contain vegetables in them (like fucking shakshuka or breakfast lentils)

The main thing I took away from living in Japan was that their breakfasts are more gooder. Fermented soybeans, miso soup, vegetable porridge, eggs, fruit, maybe a bit of grilled fish, served with jasmine tea. It's as healthy as it is filling. When I catch flak for cooking that in the US, I just point out the difference between elderly Americans I've worked with and elderly Ryukyu I've seen. There's like a ten or twenty year difference in their capabilities at the same age.
