Do you enjoy satire? The genre of humorous criticism has its place in literature, drama, and the media. The Onion is one such venue described as America's 'finest news source.'
Here is a sample from a recent article.
"A new report from the Food and Drug Administration has found that breakfast, once considered the most important meal of the day, has now slipped to sixth place, below brunch and just above midnight snack. "Significant gains by lunch and dessert badly damaged breakfast's standing in the late 1990s," culinary analyst Myron Jeffries said. "Add to that the blockbuster debut of second-breakfast in 2007 and a renewed interest in leftover-pizza pre-lunch, and breakfast is in a downward spiral it may never recover from. Especially considering the popularity of super-brunch." The makers of Eggo frozen waffles reportedly expressed no concern at the news, as waffle-dinner is still holding strong at #3."
It's time to rethink the exalted place breakfast has enjoyed all these years. I personally value the green tea and cucumber post lunch, or the mixed nut post dinner and rate them above the leftover-pizza pre-lunch.
Of course, we all have our preferences.
