People have been eating eggs for breakfast for centuries.  It wasn't started by "lobbyists", whatever that means.  It's a tradition, in part because people had chickens, and you can eat a chicken once or if it's a layer, eat eggs for 2-3 years.  When I was a kid on my grandparents farm, if I wanted eggs I had to got talk the hens out of them.

About twice a week I serve the wife poached eggs over English muffins.  She loves  them.

It's tradition, as are many things we do today.

You're describing a situation in which eggs would be eaten at any, and possibly, every meal.  But once we got past that time and made all foods available (you know....a grocery store), eggs were getting lost in the shuffle. 

Think about it - when do you use eggs outside of eggs at breakfast.  Baking and....fried rice?  As a coating for frying maybe?  Vastly different volume.

The less influence you believe a lobby has had, the more effective that lobby is. They've used "tradition" as a way of remaining at high-volume.

Boy, the egg lobby should get a raise!

Here, what am I actually suggesting here?  A giant conspiracy theory?  No.  I'm saying that 847 was right, there's no reason not to eat whatever food you want for breakfast.  None.  So while eggs were popular at breakfast as the English sort of re-invented breakfast a few hundred years back, the modern egg industry is wanting to remain relevant.

They spend lots of money to stay in business.  That's all it is.  Not crazy talk, not conspiracies....pretty much mundane, obvious thinking.

All I'm saying is have a burger at 8am.  Make spaghetti at 6am.  There's no reason not to!  Have bacon and eggs for dinner.  Many people do it, just for fun.  I'm saying do it just because it's food - it's all just food.


The idea of "breakfast" foods is as stupid as "baby" names.  They're just names - the baby is going to grow up!  It's all just food, eat it whenever you want!

I don't know what you mean by lobbyists.  Marketing, yes, marketing obviously shapes our habits and lives.  I'm rather familiar with it.

The term lobbyist comes from the Civil War and a certain hotel lobby in DC.  The hotel is still there.

The wife doesn't like "Greek" yogurt and it is getting harder and harder to find anything else in the yogurt aisle.  When I was a young man, yogurt was a very rare thing.  I'd never had any until I dated a gal who made her own.  This change was not because of some lobbyist but in part because of marketing and in part because people liked what they were selling.  Marketing gets you started and can keep you extant and relevant.

My Mom used to deride people who would eat a Moon Pie and an RC Cola for breakfast.  She was big on nutrition being a Home Ec major.  Every day before school I had four fried eggs, a large plate of grits with butter, two pieces of toast, milk and OJ.  On Saturday we had pancakes, with syrup, which is liquid sugar.

I was 16 when I had my first pizza.  Seriously.  I was 17 when I first ate Mexican food.  Yes, I'm old as dirt.  None of these trends were because of lobbyists.

Hell, cincy, you might pre-date lobbyists.  You might even pre-date breakfast for all I know!

I want you to look at the chicken/egg industry.  Look at how it's set up.  Look at how it's structured.  Look at its size.  And tell me it doesn't have lobbyists in DC. 



And yes, greek yogurt is gross.  It's probably "real" yogurt.  But give me the Dannon or the other one, chock full of sugar and bits of fruit any day.

I was 6'4" and weighed about 175 pounds.  I needed as much "fat" as I could get back then.  My blood numbers today surprise the doctors.

I think you are confusing what lobbyists do with what marketers so.

Fellas,

I admire how that thread was handled, but it got to a point where names were getting used and that can lead to a bad path as we are all clearly different in our preferences.

With the news that came out yesterday from the DOJ and the fallout that's going to come, I just felt like that thread would have gone worse than it already started to get.

I'm completely open for discussion on this. I'm not a dictator - this place is for ALL of us. Tell me what you think.
You don't need an explanation.  

Rutgers may need an explanation.  :)

It's the egg lobby. 
There's no reason for "breakfast" food at all.  Eat what you like at every meal.  NOPE! 

Let's set aside these foods to be eaten in the morning time, so that they may carve out a spot at the table (both figuratively and literally).  Cereals (straight up sugar in sugary milk for kids), bacon (good anytime), and mostly, eggs. 

Hooray lobbyists!
Because nobody ate eggs for breakfast before there were lobbyists.

I was at a breakfast diner once where the restrooms were labelled as "sausage" and "eggs"

I have been amused by all the GMO free, lactose tolerant, gluten free, organic "marketing" I see.  My step daughter pays a ton extra for "organic" food and then lets her kids eat just about any candy they want.  (They are not obese fortunately.)  I don't get that at all.

There is some fascinating work on fructose, half of the sucrose molecule (table sugar).  It's metabolized in the liver and apparently not well, what it is changed into is not good.  I have tried to limit my sucrose intake (it's not easy).

Decades ago I read a fascinating large scale study on heart disease that correlated dietary iron intake with heart disease of all types.  Fascinating, and then it was all subsumed with the cholesterol story which to me chemically never made sense.  The iron thing does, but that story vanished.

And do you get in red meat?  What about other cultures who dine on very high cholesterol foods and have almost no heart disease?  Huh.

I can't even find that iron study any more on line.
