The word “breakfast” comes from the Old English words “brecan” and “fæstan”, which mean “to break” and “fast”, respectively.
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and it is typically eaten after a long night’s sleep.
It’s the meal that breaks your overnight fast with a culinary kickstart and sets the tone for the day.

Morning Muse or Misery?

But is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
Some studies have shown that eating breakfast may help to regulate blood sugar levels and prevent overeating later in the day.
But some people may find that they do not feel hungry in the morning or that they in fact feel better when eating at a later time.

Yay for Breakfast:

Skipping breakfast may lead to mid-morning fatigue and irritability for some people.
Some people overcompensate with larger meals later if they don’t eat breakfast.

Nay for Breakfast:

Some people feel sluggish eating too soon in the day.
If you’re not hungry, why force it?
Skipping breakfast also frees up time for other morning activities.

The Origin of Better Breakfast Day

Not quite verifiable rumors say that the holiday was created in the early 1900s by cereal companies and other food manufacturers.
We know for sure they promoted the idea of breakfast being the most important meal of the day, but we found no confirmation who created this event.

May your breakfasts, or lack there of, be satisfying and if anyone wonders why you are hosting a breakfast buffet for your neighbors, just tell them Wild Calendar gave wild ideas, again. And then invite them to the table.

Bon appétit, or as they say around the world, “Buon appetito”, “Guten Appetit” and “Eet smakelijk!”
Happy Better Breakfast Day!
