It changed my life when I learned that our society’s emphasis on breakfast is just a mid-20th century marketing scheme to deal with the U.S.’ wheat surplus and that I can just eat when I feel hungry for the first time everyday.
I didn’t eat cereal for years after that—it’s just wheat and sugar and, as y’all know, we shouldn’t be eating another animal’s milk (by body literally rejects it now). But now I like a bowl of healthy adult cereal in oat milk sometimes before bed.
Basically I trust the child-me more now. Probably what child you didn’t want to do was instinctively correct. The capitalism got all of us out here thinking we poor at adulting. But I’m here to tell you you are doing great!
You’re not bad at life because you don’t eat until 2pm and you can’t accumulate savings. The capitalism is the culprit.
