[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP let me guess, you don't work.  Do you really think it's feasible for most working families to spend an hour each morning preparing some kind of vegetable breakfast?  People gravitate toward something that can be easily transported to work or school (granola bars, bagels, etc).  I've been trying to do better with my breakfast choices because I agree that it's easy to snarf down a day's worth of carbs and sugar in one go, but you should consider the needs and requirements of an average working parent trying to get out of the house on a weekday.

Give me a break.  It's really not hard.  You can cook something like wild rice or brown rice the night before. The next morning cook an egg, put it on the rice, add a little bit of shredded nori, maybe a touch of soy and a peice of fruit.  Boom, you got an appropriate amount of unrefined carbs, excellent source of protein, some vitamin c, and foods that will make your gut bacteria very healthy.  It takes 5 minutes to prep.  Science now pretty much shows that your gut bacteria are basically another organ of the body.  You have more bacterial cells inside of you than human cells, and poor gut microbiome has been linked to all sorts of serious brain disease. Those bacteria can even travel up and down nerves from your gut to your brain. They've done many studies of this over the years and have profiled the gut microbiomes from various countries.  People who live in Africa, the middle East and Asian have a wider diversity and total number of gut bacteria of westerners, and it has largely been hypothesized to be due to diet. [/quote]
