so you're in the break room at work and
you say I am really looking forward to
lunch I skip breakfast today and someone
else is like oh you got to eat breakfast
it's the most important meal of the day
and you're just like paralyzed with rage
what really matters is what you eat now
when you eat it so much don't grab some
empty calories on the way out the door
just because you feel like you need to
eat breakfast because big breakfast has
told you you need to okay you can be
okay without it your day's gonna be fine
you're not gonna fall into a manhole
people are still going to laugh at your
jokes compliment your clothes respond to
your text messages or not respond you
know if they're not responding it's not
because you miss breakfast
so I do eat breakfast and I don't mean
that as a judgment on anyone who doesn't
there are a lot of things that I can't
control in this world I'm a controlling
person we have a lack of safety testing
legislation for industrial chemicals
that are introduced into our environment
people are not vaccinating their
children every day you hear about people
falling into manholes you're not as tall
or as short as you'd like you know maybe
you have a genetic relationship with
people you don't want to consider family
you walk out your door and fall into a
manhole
they put a new manhole there uncovered
anyway there's stuff that goes on in the
world but what you can control is this
15 minutes of grounded breakfast time
the same principles of choosing
breakfast apply to when you're choosing
any type of meal which is heat real food
mostly plants not too much to borrow
from my friend Michael Pollan we haven't
met but what you eat is more important
than when you eat it
I am personally very Pro breakfast but
it's okay if you're anti and the most
important thing that you can do is
refuse to be breakfast shamed when
someone tells me they didn't eat
breakfast that day
I'll give them a hug hello good luck
getting lucky if this is where you eat
for breakfast
