Breakfast-skippers, that is.

Well if you're a middle aged male and are also drinking heavily, smoking and not exercising. Those factors of course don't matter quite so much as MISSING BREAKFAST!

Now I'm a fully signed up member of the Breakfast Lovers Association (apart from fast days) - but even I think that this might be stretching the 'thou must eat breakfast' mantra a little too far.

"The same men were more likely to smoke, drink more alcohol, be unmarried and to be less physically active"

I reckon the men in question were just hungover, got up at midday, lit a fag and had a full english for "brunch", while watching a bit of porn on the sofa

Or is that just too mean

I am not a middle aged male so everything is fine

It's crazy and anyway, the truth of now won't be accurate in few months/years time...

I remember when my doctor said to not eat more than one egg a week because it's bad fat, the same for avocados. Now they say "it's good for you"....

If you eat everyday the exact same thing that is in the picture, I am not sure you won't have a heart attack before you reach 50 anyway....

Everyone's heart will eventually stop beating so I am not going to worry about it,

I don't skip breakfast I just have it at lunchtime.

I wonder which food corporation paid for that study??

I also wonder clairemarie. Do you think somebody is hoping we all run out to buy some breakfast cereal?

I guess to be safe I'll start eating breakfast, and skip lunch.

The idea that throughout history humans have always eaten three meals a day and a failure to do so leads to sickness and death makes me wonder why humans are still on the planet.

well here is another opinion on the skipping breakfast debate. They don't actually refer to 'fasters' but that seems to be the jist
