    People will let the elites talk to them like that actually. I am sure the WSJ could print an article saying “let rich people shit in your mouth, a solution to hunger” and people will still take it.

      It’s because they think the elites have “the secret” to getting rich, and that by listening to them and following their advice, they can become a billionaire too.

      Of course, the “secret” is having rich parents, but they never mention that part…

    Loss of appetite is already a common symptom of depression, so nobody needs to give the lower classes this advice; it is redundant.

    Next thing you know the article will read “To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Eating” just so the rich can blame the poor for the crumbling economy that was/is actually caused by them doing the very bare minimum to support it.

      It’s just a metaphor; they should skip lunch and heating instead.

      In the US, breakfast is a lot of people’s entire personality. They like to worship their bacon here in Burgerland.

      Compared to Americans? Probably.

      I don’t know how representative I am for the average European but I usually have some eggs or a cup of skyr with fruits and/or oats for breakfast.

          Similar to yoghurt. Low calories, very high in protein. Ideal breakfast if you are on a diet.

          500g have like ~300 kcal and ~55g of protein.
