Breakfast

We are always being told what to eat. (to get healthy – eat fruit and veg, to loose weight – eat less, to increase memory – eat fish, to get curly hair – eat your crusts, to feel better – eat chocolate (although fruit is more effective.)) And how important breakfast is, apparently it is the most important meal of the day, we should have whatever type of cereal or toast that is being advertised with a glass of fruit juice or actual fruit. It will help us concentrate, get up and ready to go, and have energy for the day. So when we skip breakfast and have a coffee instead, we know that’s why we are running out of energy by the first smoko. But what to have for breakfast when the day is half over? Is it still breakfast when we have it at midday, (McDonalds serves it until 11.) what about after that thought ‘Today is not going well, I want to start it again.’ Does the day go better when it restarts with a ‘good’ breakfast even though there is no real need to eat again. But naturally all these questions about second breakfast are only there as a distraction from the question its all about, ‘How much can repeating the morning ritual (at whatever time of the day it is) actually fix a ruined day?’
