Are there people who truly have sit down breakfasts with time to read the newspaper before work and school?

"The healthiest time to eat dinner is generally 3 to 4 hours before bedtime, ideally between 5 PM and 7 PM, to allow for proper digestion, better blood sugar control, improved metabolism, and more restorative sleep, aligning with your body's internal clock (circadian rhythm). An earlier dinner supports weight management and reduces risks for conditions like diabetes and heart disease, but the quality of the meal and a consistent schedule are also crucial."

Tell it to the Spaniards.

It's funny - you probably accuse Trump of denying science, but look at you!

I work 3 days a week, 11 to 11. So yes, I get to do this every day!
I skip dinner on the days I’m working.

I have a friend who starts work at 7 and has a long commute. She gets up at 4 am to read the LA times over coffee after her shower and heads out at 6.

I’ve always wondered that too. I have to be at work at 7:30 so we leave the house at 6:45. I drop my son off at school at 7am and race to my school. It’s usually still dark when I get there although it is getting a bit lighter now. We are barely functioning at 6:30 so a sit down breakfast isn’t happening.

If I leave my house 10 minutes later, I’ll run into traffic. I have to be at school by 7:30. I’d rather sleep for 10 more minutes.

I wake up at 5am and get myself totally ready and then get the kids up by 6. By 6:40 they are at the table where breakfast is totally made and plated (eggs, yogurt, fruit, etc). We read the headlines and then do a last minute prep for any tests that’s day.

They leave by 7:15 for school and I take the youngest to daycare at 7:30. (3 kids total ages 4, 8and 13)

No rush in the morning and everyone leaves calm and well fed.

Haven't read the whole thread, but do you work outside the home? And where's your spouse in all this?
