We have pancakes like once every three months on average. I eat cereal pretty much every morning.
@@user-zy7xy8sf9o you gotta be kidding me...
Wait do Americans actually cereal and pancake every day? Sorry I’m Asian
I’m pretty sure there is something healthy, i thought it was originally oatmeal
As a Mexican, i remember being so upset with my mom for not letting me eat cereal as breakfast, but now i'm really greatful with her for not letting me do that, i have really good breakfast habits now
Yes amigo, instead of being loaded with sugar and speedy Gonzales outta there you sat and ingested a good nutritional meal.. your mother did not burrito around the Bush and knew whats best for you,
Her tacotics worked and she didn't string bean you along
Eh
Cereal siempre a sido un desayuno bastante pobre.
Siempre anda dejando a uno con mas hambre 😂

IM IN LOVE WITH THE LOCO
Recuerdo ver las series en canales como cartoon network o disney XD donde salian los personajes desayunando leche con cereal y apenas nada mas
y yo de chiquito super confundido porque mis padres tambien nunca me dejaron comer cereales asi tipo azucarados y de colores
Puede que no haya entendido por qué en esos momentos pero ahora
Muchas gracias padres por no haberme dejado comer cereales azucarados--
As a Sri Lankan kid , I always wanted stuff like Donuts , cereals for my breakfast but my mother never allowed me. Instead she mostly gave me a homecooked 3 course breakfast starting with a cup of black tea then a cup of herbal Porridge and rice with 2-3 vegetables nd an animal protein item. Now as an adult who living alone in Europe , Im extreamly grateful to my parents for raising me with good food habits.
Where in Europe xd there are lot of people from India, Nepal and Sri Lanka in Croatia
Oh, that sounds really good.
Your mother is a wise wife
In America, we'd never have veggies for breakfast, even though that's really healthy 😋 🙃 😅 🙄 😐 🙂
why not give kids a very small bowl of cereal + healthy things for breakfast? have a bit of unhealthy foods yk

Why is this so true... I feel exposed.
Every American:
"But then I started travelling, and I discovered people around the world have other customs".
lol
It's crazy how it comes as a shocker for them...
I met a family from Michigan in NYC who didn't know we didn't really play baseball and American football in Europe...
Also, the food was gross and so unhealthy in so many restaurants. I was not used to so much added sugar and whatever in my food so I even got sick once. I just feel bad for the people who grow up eating this food and get so used to it they can't tell how bad it is for them.
@@hobog12777 yes, I get what you mean but it's a problem they also have in Brazil and I bet they have in Russia as well. They are three really big countries who share a lot of cultural factors internally (not among the three of them, I mean) so it's harder to travel outside and easy to think that the neighbours do the same as you do.
About the sugar and unhealthy food, I like some dishes from the US but I agree, they are generally way more elaborated and unhealthy. Unfortunately, also these are cultural habits and many other countries in the world follow the same pattern!
Despite having a really good diet, here in Italy many kids are having breakfast with Italian snacks which are charged with sugar and certainly not healthy. And it's a trend that's been there since I was a kid. Bad habits die hard!
americans just livin in their bubble
In this case he's probably feigning his ignorance for the purpose of engagement. An old writing trick when covering subjects that you expect your readers/audience to be unfamiliar with is to pretend to be unfamiliar with it yourself going in or to recount the process of how you became familiar with it, if you watch a lot of documentaries or "edutainment" (particularly the stuff aimed at kids) you should have an idea of what I'm talking about. It helps to craft something of a narrative around otherwise boring information dumps where your audience could easily tune out.
After all "guy explains American breakfast" is inherently less interesting than "guy discovers how interesting non-American breakfast is, realizes that American breakfast is stupid, and then incorporates non-American food into his own breakfast"
I doubt that there are any Americans out there that would actually be surprised by the fact the different people have different morning meals or different ideas of when to eat.
As an '80s and '90s kid I have all the memories of "breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" and then people eating things that really suggest that's not at all the case. It's really nice to see someone talking about this objectively and encouraging people to question it.
It's all marketing propaganda. Along with lobbying in the government to tell us to eat 7-11 servings of carbohydrates on a food pyramid. Now we know that equates to 7-11 servings of sugar a day.
I'm with you on that with some 70's thrown in. It still amazes me how deeply advertising and marketing spiels were accepted as fact and how gullible society was. A company funds a self serving study and the outcome is now scientific fact.Case in point, cereals with 40% sugar received a heart foundation healthy tick.
It's crazy to me, born and raised in the U.S. I always assumed these "American Breakfast" foods were reserved for a special occasion, like a big family breakfast. And I guess that's because my mom only let me eat this way on the rare occasion we went out to a diner or something. We did eat non-sweet cereal, but the sweet stuff was only purchased once on a blue moon as a dessert item. I guess now, as an adult, I noticed people commenting on me eating things like rice and beans for breakfast and I thought, "hm, but why wouldn't I eat this for breakfast?" Then came the realization that a lot of people, even as adults, eat dessert for breakfast!
Eh i don’t really like the video cus it makes it seem like we just wanted to eat this shit. Nah traditional American breakfast; eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee has a historical reason. Before industrialization many families were laborers and farmers, eggs were cheap and easily attainable, and bacon was readily accessible with pigs being common livestock in many towns and family farms. Of course grains were important to grow and america basically ran on coffee since its inception. Like most big businesses the grain industry went on an advertising frenzy, marketing cereals and seed oils as healthy alternatives by being ‘low fat’, ‘low cholesterol’, and ‘easily digestible for quick energy’, theres a big market for “on the go food” as fast food is prevalent in the US.
It's funny that we eat rice and beans everyday at lunch in Brazil. It sounds really weird for us to have them for breakfast. I never saw nor heard about anybody here doing that.
@@Guizambaldi actually it's not uncommon for people in early rise or labor intensive jobs to have the same food they have for lunch as breakfast in brazil, esp on poorer or rural areas. not to mention it is served in public schools, and some kids have that as first meal of the day
Ya most people don’t eat the very heavy stuff everyday
I grew up in France, first time I ate pan cakes in an American restaurant they put a very small scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top. As a kid I felt so happy to have ice cream for breakfast, I put the whole thing in my mouth, only to find out it was butter 🤢🤮
F

As a Brazilian, a cup of coffee with milk, bread with cheese (very rarely ham or eggs) and a fruit gets me going and is all I ever crave in the mornings. I could not stand a breakfast so "rich" in fat, as the one with bacon and pork, or so full of sugar either.
Trinidad here (Caribbean) and it’s the exact same! And it was how I was raised :) Coffee and some bread and cheese, and if you really get lucky, a banana/apple/grapes
YES! fellow brazilian here! my breakfast nowadays is dark coffee without sugar, bread and eggs (sometimes cheese or light cream cheese with it) and papaya. i change fruits sometimes but it’s usually one rich in fibers. i love that we don’t have the culture of eating cereals or too much fat in the breakfast, it turns to bad habits so quick…
If you're swinging an ax all day high fat diets were essential. Those breakfasts come from the 1800s from lumberjacks and railroad workers because of the constant labor they needed the fuel
I've been living in Brazil for a few months now and even the 5 year old children here get coffee for breakfast. Bit weird to me😮
Our breakfast is much healthier than in the US, but I think we overeat bread and exagerate on coffee. And we have two breakfasts, morning and afternoon.
my fav healthy breakfasts
- oatmeal w/ nuts (pecans usually) ontop & banana slices
- overnight oats w/peanut butter
- plain greek yogurt w/ granola and strawberry slices (basically a parfait)
So good that sounds like a healthy way of eating your breakfast Oatmeal 🥣 great job and thank you.
Americans: Dessert for Everything!
South Asian: Rice for Everything!
That applies to Southeast Asians too.
Southeast Asians too. Damn, we Filipinos can pair any food with rice lol.
Rice for breakfast varies in India. There are certain rice dishes mainly eaten for breakfast like Lemon, Tamarind or Tomato fried Rice and Lentil or Milk cooked Rice. Other than these, Idli-dosa are common rice based dishes.
@@gazibizi9504India has a plethora of cuisines ....but some of the stuff we eat includes : - 1) Parantha ( stuffed parantha) 2) poha 3) upma

I find it very interesting that American breakfast is so big and filled with sugary things and then (for what I've seen) lunch is a just a sandwich. I honestly cannot fathom eating just a sandwich for lunch
The hell kind of americans you been seeing that eat just a sandwich for lunch?
If I have a sandwich, it's typically on hearty bread and something substantial. The typical American white bread sandwich isn't my thing either.
This is not a thing lmao
I usually only eat 1 big meal a day lol

When i was little i hated having to rush eating breakfast before school. When i was in college i started appreciate my grandma forcing me to eat big breakfast before classes coz i got very hungry by 11am. Being Asian i love my breakfast. It’s usually rice+hot soup & veggies. It was a big culture shock when i saw the breakfast menu in my dorm food hall.

Crispy Bacon,couple Sunnysideups,
graycolored no skin type sausage ,
toast with plenty butter dripping,
and strawberry Jam. And drink plenty light taste coffee.
Then you get full and light a cigarette and think about

fried sausage links/patties, eggs, and orange juice with white rice.

A friend who had lived in Japan showed me a fairly quick, tasty breakfast dish: break an egg into a bowl of hot rice, stir it to until the egg is mixed thoroughly with the rice and lightly scrambled, then season with a little soy sauce. It's delicious and surprisingly filling.
Only possible with eggs from japan because of their strict regulations in place. As an Asian it's a fairly common breakfast consisting of toast, eggs and sometimes rice. Pair those with a coffee and you're good to go.
Sounds amazing, thanks! I'll try
Sorry but just reading your comment made me feel sick. 🤢
I need something light for breakfast.

In my country there is a thing called qaymoq or kaymak(natural cream that is taken from milk while processing the milk homemade) which is very delicious with bread. Then there is natural butter which is quite yellowish, brownish which is also extremely delicious and natural.Furthermore, We don't drink coffee much but tea mostly.
Coming from a Filipino household, Breakfast for me is whatever didn't get eaten from the previous night.
That's a good breakfast. Any soup included hopefully? I love soup at breakfast. Grandma used to do that. May she rest in peace.
Coming from a single person who cooks a lot of food and routinely has leftovers, this is my preferred method of breakfast
Lol, yass, but we usually like bread in the morning with coffee. Though, I don’t really like coffee, so I eat the bread.
I sometimes wake up too late in the summer, so I just eat lunch. My aunt gave us some Pork Sinigang in a Ube Ice cream container. It was so goodd. Then with some green beans with squash my mom made the other day. Soo good and more vegetables!
Totoo yan last night leftover rice is goona be friedrice in the morning
Coming from an indonesian household. My mom absolutely would only cook once a day if could, twice is the maximum, so our dinner is usually our earlier breakfast left over. But then again, my house almost never left anything out, we simply eat everything.

A bottle of Corona.
In Poland it is normal to eat daily like bread or roll with ham, cheese some vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers. It just never gets old and it's much healthier than fried beacon/eggs.
Eggs are healthy tho and can fit nice on the bread or you can soft boil them or eat them scrambled but yeah too much fried egg can be unhealthy
I didn't even live in America, yet the place/area where I lived was really Americanized, so I often ate American-style breakfasts. I think that really messed up my relationship with sugar and food, as I gained a lot of weight, had an unhealthy sugar addiction and mostly ate junk growing up. Luckily, I'm in a healthy place now. I'm naturally a breakfast person, but i eat nutritious and well-portioned breakfasts that keep my satisfied yet are beneficial for my health. I don't really think many people realize how much your food habits growing up can affect your relationship with food as you get older

Breakfast is still better though because the rice is now garlic fried rice and there's a fried egg.
Me staying up late: What's breakfast, and what does morning mean?
@@haotianwu3304 Gamer?
Andre Ortega that person was saying that because they stay up so late, once they wake up it’s no longer morning because they’ve slept past it therefore, they don’t know what morning because they always sleep past it and they don’t know what breakfast is because they’ve never eaten in the morning
I can relate
As an American who counts every ounce and gram of macros, it’s kinda terrifying how scary how much added sugar there is in things you’d think would be clean.
Once I saw pop tart in a store here in Israel. So I bought it to try. They said it’s very tasty. Also trey said it should be frozen or heated , well I think it should be thrown away😂. Just some weird chemical tasting cookie
If you can get shakshuka for breakfast in Israel you really don’t want pop tarts
Street food in Israel is unreal 🤤
yeah i am from the uk & we eat a ton of junk food, we do have the fried breakfast, cereal & toast as standard. but eating a pop tart made me feel sick... it tasted like the cheapest possible sweet pastry & jam, that had been preserved for 50 years.
americans shine a lot in fresh savoury food, all their processed or sweet food is awful
I ate one once. It was cardboard with sugar (Poland)
💯 I tried pop tarts once. Couldn't even swallow the first bite. Spit it out and threw the rest away. 🤮
america is like that one who friend you had as a child who could do whatever he wanted like "damn he gets to eat dessert for breakfast" but then you grow up and realize oh he just didn't have someone who cared for what he ate or did

We vietnamese here have such a strong breakfast. A whole bowl of phở or bún bò or anything they are all very nutritious. With a drink usually some mild ice tea or if you are wealthier you can have orange juice or milk
Hey Johnny, try the Mediterranean breakfast usually has some type of bread with a type of cheese, olives or olive oil (to dip with), some eggs (boiled or pan fried). The type of bread or cheese depends on the region in the Mediterranean. In my opinion this is the most balanced breakfast you can have. Hope u enjoy it 😊
labneh, manakish zaatar, hummus hits different
As a Greek the only breakfast in my house used to be coffee and cigarettes
As an Italian, we have a cornetto and coffee, must've missed the notion

I grew to appreciate all the delicious and healthy foods that don’t need sugar and traveling to other countries inspired me to improve my diet and health. Overall, probably not letting my children have sugary breakfasts lol
I really love what you're doing Johnny! Great topics and beautiful presentation
He’s right... America adds sugar to everything. Especially breakfast items.
Edit: When I said sugar I meant “sugar” of every kind including high fructose corn syrup, powdered sugar, and everything in between.
no we don't we add corn syrup.
@@dougnapier6441 I was about to say that XD Corn syrup is way cheaper and waaay worse. It contains fructose that can only be stored in the liver so you get fatty liver if you eat too much.
Mexican sugar cane is tariffed so we use corn syrup from the midwest instead. If you go to a store you can buy a product called Mexican coke. The difference is Mexican coke uses sugar cane and our soda uses corn syrup. My father swears how much better the Mexican coke is.
If you read labels, it's literally in everything!
@@dougnapier6441 corn syrup is worse my guy, look at the dr rhonda patrick podcast with joe rogan just search up: corn syrup joe rogan dr rhonda
nothing says "international House Of Pancakes" like a diner which is only available in america and only serves american style pancakes
IHOP is available in more than just America, but yeah they should most definitely get some other parts of the worlds pancakes on the menu that would be great
lmao

Lmao what... other parts of the world don’t eat breakfasts like ours so how would IHOP add in other countries pancakes lmao did you miss the point of the video... if IHOP wants to have the “I” they should have breakfast dishes from other countries that ARENT pancakes.... like eggs rice tomato and toast.... or fruits with eggs and a croissant(non chocolate drizzled or overly sugared) lol
@@cosmiccoco6889 you're saying that for a pancake resturant to deserve their name they need to not just sell pancakes? how is rice or toast any better? just alternate forms of empty carbs with next to no nutritional value
Breakfast in Ecuador is a cup of coffee or milk, buns, sometimes with butter or jam, and two boiled eggs or scrambled. Some men have more substantial breakfast in the lowlands with plantain, fried fish or beef stew, and rice.
I’m Canadian (which means we eat breakfast exactly the same as Americans) and I totally agree with you, even as a kid I absolutely hated the culture of loading up on sugar for breakfast I don’t like super sugary foods, I like eggs and bacon for sure and sausage and beans and hash browns but the whole waffle/pancake/cereal/doughnut thing is insane to me, especially since it’s advertised as nutritious that’s just blatant BS.
This guy sounds like he just realized that most of American culture is originally brought from Europe and modified.

My grandparents took me to Florida as a kid and I was so happy to have just donoughts with sprinkles every morning at the villa complex. Suffice to say when we returned to the UK they were like absolutely not. On the weekend though I might have a cinnamon swirl or a strawberry croissant with a coffee instead of the usual plain crossant but in the week I’d rarely feel hungry let alone crave for something sweet.
I think I love this man. The topics you cover… makes so happy.
“Kids, you’re not having cake for breakfast. You’re having fried cake with liquid sugar for breakfast” -Jim Gaffigan
Me reads this: Lies lies! He says cakes right there! After saying cake... Wait what...
And that is the reason my mom let me eat cake for breakfast, she was like “just have milk with it” (this was of course usually only after someone’s birthday..since you know, we had cake in the house)
As a non-American I do like American breakfasts but I just can't imagine having that like every morning.It's more like a treat than proper everyday breakfast for me.
Like 85-95% of us treat it like that don't worry.
Pancakes were definitely for weekend breakfasts and not even every weekend. We would make pancakes for birthday breakfast and mother's and father's day. I had cereal or toast for breakfast most days
@@kevinliang9502 even then you only should have the pancakes after you eat a real breakfast
At least from a New Yorkers view, 90% of us don't even eat breakfast, and when we do, its a special occasion with friends. Us Americans usually don't have time to eat in the mornings
Eggs is another common breakfast. However it depends what you eat on the side. MOst i would say eat some time of pork or toast with butter and jelly. I eat lots of chopped veggies and quinoa with my eggs, its actually my "healthy breakfast" day LOL.
As a Swede, my usual breakfast is oatmeal (I think it was called idk in Swedish it’s called havergrynsgröt) with applesauce on it (again, not sure that’s what it’s called so please correct me if not but we call it äppelmos) and milk around it and with that I usually have a cup of coffee

what i got: *man rants about i hop and fruit loops*
Right? I’ve been to Europe and eaten breakfast there and it was a only a little different from what I’d eat at a brunch spot in the U.S. I never go to IHOP, eat pancakes, or buy breakfast cereals and neither do my friends and family. I ate sweet breakfast and cereal sometimes as a kid because it was a good excuse to get hopped up on sugar. Real maple syrup has an incredibly nuanced flavor and was made by indigenous people before colonizers arrived, it’s uniquely North American so of course it isn’t used everywhere. Pancakes and waffles are now topped with it (and cheaper artificial versions) because people took their recipes and adapted them to ingredients available in North America. Before breakfast cereals, poor Americans ate gruel and porridge for breakfast. There’s lots of weird history with the Kellogg brothers (masturbation prevention! Eugenics!!!). We could talk about racism and American breakfast - Aunt Jemima and the cream of wheat guy and the history of minstrelsy, the “mammy” archetype, and Uncle Remus. The 20th century advertising brought mass consumerism culture to everything, including breakfast. There’s a lot of beyond the typical “Americans are fat and lazy” conversation in this video, and frankly it’s not that interesting to watch a white guy say “I went to Europe and now, I’m different, I’m not like other Americans.”
@@alyssab90 This. Eschewing breakfast altogether is very common with people all over the world, and a lot of people break their fast with a late morning "brunch" type meal that mixes fruit or sweet jams with savories. European breakfast is very, VERY similar to North American breakfasts, and the consumption of a fruit-sweetened dairy product alongside a grain-based carb is pretty universal across the world.
IHOP is for late night drunk excursions or where you take your kid for a special treat. Also ihop has healthy food too. Your choice what you eat. A lot of Americans eat healthy for breakfast. It’s easy to buy fruit and yogurt etc. He sounds whiny for no reason.
Ikr I was wondering what is this video supposed to be about 😂😂😂😂
well he made the reasons why pretty clear. -everyone likes dessert, Americans just tend to not hold back. -sugar is addictive and its so available in the us because its so demanded. and unfortunately, your government is one that prioritises profit over people. -theres no deep history or culture behind the breakfast foods in america, so theres no inherent want to preserve how it started, as he said they are adaptations of various European foods. -food and health education is so shit that people dont understand what they are doing to themselves. -being fat and being unhealthy is currently being normalised, whereas in most European countries, its something thats frowned upon. -and most european countries have some form of intention to preserve culture. its the fault of the food industry, mostly the government, and partly the people
Nice video! Yes please share your insights on breakfast culture and options :D
Coming from Germany we do have a lot of people consuming cheap high sugar cereals (that were introduced to us after WW2 by the US). If your family didn't follow that trend it probably goes with the narrowed down version of the classic "continental breakfast": Sourdough or bread roll sandwiches with sliced meats, (cottage) cheese and some vegetables like cucumber, bell pepper, carrots or tomatoes. Or topped with jam or nutella if you're a sweet tooth. Some also swear on eating porridge or joghurt/milk and oats and fruits. All this is a bit more convenient than actually cooking for breakfast as you can easily take the sandwiches and vegetables with you in your lunch box (which we use for breakfast as well). On weekend/days off you'd usually just go with a more wider range of breads, charcuterie, dairy products and also occasionally cooked/fried eggs.
To be clear for the non-traveled Americans that may see this, an _actual_ European "Continental" breakfast is as described above, not the stacks of single-person sugar cereal and stale donuts offered by most American hotels. The EU breakfasts I've seen tend to be a wide array of sliced fruit, cheeses, breads, meats, and a variety of tea, coffee, and juices. And most patrons only choose a few of those, not multiple plates like a US buffet. The fare also tends toward local produce over shipped because that's what the markets have, and tends to be (much) fresher as a result.

We Vietnamese just eat anything we want, there are no definitions of breakfast or lunch or dinner food, you just eat what you like
Im american and I eat like this. People think its weird that ill eat spicy hot wings for breakfast
Was amazed when my friend said she ate pho for what I usually consider breakfast....i was so jealous.
I lived in Vietnam for a year and a half (US citizen) and I loved the lack of distinction. Nothing like squatting down for a bowl of Bun Cha or Bun Bo Hue for breakfast (or any first meal of the day for that matter)
When I was in China, we ate leftovers for breakfast. It was reheated rice with leftover veggies and meat stir frys.

I love the 30 minute videos man, I love watching tour Channel on my lunch break to stay informed and keep learning
Interesting topic! Thank you for the video!
We don’t necessarily eat those “desserts” every single day. My family will only eat them on holidays and sometimes the weekends. Normally I eat toast, eggs, or an apple.
the quarentine sleep schedule has me eating only when i get hungry.
@@gangstasteve5753 and that's like every 5 minutes 🤣
That sounds nice, every morning for me as a kid was some veriation of sugary cereal, oatmeal, or a waffle😔
@@its2frikkingamgotosleep466 you may have a disorder my dude, that’s not funny but concerning-I hope you get the help required.

This video in a nutshell: My parents fed me sugar for breakfast. I didn’t like it. I traveled a bunch of times. Now I know people of other cultures eat different things. I will too. I have been enlightened. American breakfast is dumb.
But delicious.
Thank you for saving me 10 minutes!
I have been raised on American breakfast, and I fucking hate it 😅 it makes me feel like shit, and it makes me sluggish.
I can't wait to descover forgien breakfasts, but in the meantime I'll just eat baked chicken and milk for breakfast.

@@Raptorworld22 That was the basic midcentury model that carried through till the end of the century. Corporate greed dictating our habits and everyone just doing what they are told.
I as a Indian, my favourite breakfast is
In sweet version- panjiri( a powder of roasted whole wheat flour in ghee mixed with with powdered roasted peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, coconuts and some powdered raw Indian sugar called khaand) with a glass of milk.
In savoury- upma with some buttermilk. Upma is a savoury samolena dish with some peanuts and cashew nuts. It's quick to make and take only 5-10 minutes, very less oil and salt.
My mom was from Japan, and I love Japanese breakfast! She would have tea, miso and some fruit. I indulge in American breakfast when we go out. But I do enjoy a good yogurt with fruit, almonds and the occasional cereal. But my dad was from the south, so she learned to make biscuits and gravy, skillet cornbread and other faves for my dad. That was good, too. But i choose japanese style any day!
Southern European Breakfast Culture:
1. Simple toasted bread with butter and latte/cappuccino/cafe au lait
Either that or
2. Espresso and a cigarette (and taking a dump afterwards)
Same thing in brazil,bread and coffe with milk
@@bocasuja22 I will reply the same thing. Our breakfast is pretty basic but have variations too, like cake of corn or fubá, cuscuz (I don't know how to named in English) but it's something more northeastern.
@@lohaye3260 its cornmeal cake,in brazil typically the breakfast food is something you can eat with your hands and doesn't require cooking i said bread to exemplify the more common.
Well in Croatia it is for sure nr. 1
Nr 2 so true 🙌
This didn’t really explain why it’s like this. Diner breakfast came from our farming days. Most of America used to be a farm. We ate foods from the farm that were incredibly calorie dense in order to maintain the energy to do farm work. Cereal breakfast came from the 40s and 50s. No longer on farms, but still lacking a lot in transportation in our gigantic country, we had basically no fresh food. Hence everything came in a can or a box (you know all those weird preserved food recipes from the 50s) We just continued these two traditions.
Underrated comment. I was waiting for information like this from the video but it never appeared..
That's a remarkably clear and logical explanation.
Thank you, explained it best on the most simplest and understanding way. It all really comes down to tradition, literally every culture is like this. Surprised people in the comments are acting like they are any different
I just found this guy’s channel and most of the videos I see don’t even answer the title. Like this one is just shitting on breakfast and the one about China is a call to reform capitalism.
Good job you completed this guys video.
i'm swedish and raised in a fairly health-focused household. sandwiches, oatmeal and müsli were staples along with a LOT of milk and sourmilk. often with some sliced fruit. birthday breakfast could be pancakes with fruit, syrup and cottage cheese, orange juice and sometimes even sweetened cereal!
I just stumbled across you on YT....this is my second video...... good stuff. Thanks!
"How did this happened?" :shows tv ads that brainwashed multiple generations to buy junk produced by corpos:
Uhhhh.... that's the point. He asked a question then answered said question with the ads showing how it became a thing.
I mean, u guys followed on to it. No one forced u guys to eat all those lol
No.....I am not effected, because I use my brain to think about things first....
That’s the point genius
Well when you think of the fact that we put eggs, bacon /sausage with a drink of milk there actually pretty healthy
This man seems like he was wronged by the American breakfast industry
We’ve all been wronged by the American food industry
It definitely seems personal, like he was force fed pancakes, syrup and cream every morning like some kind of fois gras goose.

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed your view of breakfast, which is a meal I don't eat, but one which I have strong opinions about. And that is what it comes down to, opinions, as that is what most statements are about food and when to eat it.
You're speech is very VERY understandable. I like this, 'cause I can practice my English when I'm watching You're videos. I love it. Thanks ❤❤❤
"I bet a lot of you watching don't eat breakfast"
I bet a lot of us don't even wake up in the morning
To be fair, I also don't go to bed in the evening anymore.
Same i go to bed at night instead
Four thirty, every morning, I have to chug coffee like it's going out of style tho.
Hey it's still eleven... thirty. I knew I had to go to bed because I saw the sun rising.
I usually wake up around noon (when I’m not working) and just combine my breakfast with lunch. You can save an entire meal that way.
In Germany we say: eat breakfast like a emperor, lunch like a king and dinner like a beggar
There is that idiom in spanish too!
We also say that in french !
here in India too
I used to believe in that until I found out it's a shitty ass advice!
My conclusions so far : skip breakfast, skip artificial sugar, eat in intervals of about 3 hours, eat natural, excercise daily. Your body will thank you for life!
Same here in Egypt!
Love this guy, Funny and informative. Class!
Other: should we eat breakfast or not
*Me: Wakes up at 1 pm*
watching this video after waking up at 1 AM
I mean, technically breakfast is just the first meal you eat after waking up, no matter what time it is.
I woke up at like 3pm today
Or 5 pm

Breakfast is whatever you want it to be. If I microwave last night's lasagna, it's breakfast.
I tried to make my ex understand that a nice slice of yesterday's cold pizza is just as good as a danish... Never worked.
Damn right
I ate a can of soup for breakfast and my mom asked if I was quote "Smoking marjuana"
For real sometimes my breakfast is my left over chips from yesterday
Yes! But you're talking about real food😉
It's not only Americans, it's also Dutch people which love eating pancakes and other sweet foods for breakfast.
-Oatmeal with an Apple
-Greek yogurt with granola and blueberries
-Mini-Shredded Wheat (no sugar) with Milk and dehydrated strawberries
-Whole Wheat Toast, with Guac, and hard boiled egg.
And on the rare occasion I'll have a toasted Eggo with peanut butter if I'm in a rush.

With this title I was hoping more for a history lesson on the evolution of breaky not a rant on why you hate breakfast.
He glossed over some of the fundamental things that made our food sweeter and healthier over time. Instead of sharing why molasses and fat were cheaper and ultimately more favored among pioneers he yelled at americans for choosing poorly
*unhealthier over time
@@dad_patrol I mean it's quite obvious. The marketing shaped the way Americans understood breakfast.
And obviously industrialization introduced quick and easy breakfasts while everyone was on the go to work.
@@justSomeUserOnYT Combine this with corporations that are free to lobby the FDA/whatever and fund biased studies and you have a perfect environment for mass disinformation, seen in how we thought carbs could do no wrong up until recently.
He makes it sound like we eat double triple chocolate cinnamon pancake waffles with extra chocolate and an entire can of whipped cream with chocolate syrup, with a carton of eggs and a package of bacon, ham, and sausage each breakfast.
2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and a slice of toast. That's my typical breakfast.
"We just deemed it necessary to fry it in butter, and then put more butter on top..."

There is though 😂
@Nikolaij Brouiller B'en je sais, mais j'apprécie votre élaboration.
Feel free to correct grammar things, il y a trop longtemp depuis que j'ai vécu en France.
But yeah, the American ideal for efficiency has led to more/bigger food items or meal portions, for less money, often at the expense of - among other things - richness of flavor. (Also, both sugar and margarine are cheap)
There's a real flavor difference between margarine and butter in the U.S., but there's an almost equal difference between American butter and French butter.
And idk if it's fair to throw all American flour under the bus, but it is dumb that bleached flour is standard, and you have to be intentional to seek out non-bleached (aka normal) flour.
@@melkmelo8448 But is there butter and bread to be had with the butter and pancakes?
Nikolaij Brouiller
You’re not wrong.
Also, margarine is basically hardened oil. It disgusts me.
@Nikolaij Brouiller I mean surrendering would be pretty salty
Best breakfast in the world? Roti prata and teh tarek in Singapore and Malaysia. It’s a bowl of the previous days left over chicken curry on top of a thin fried prata bread and then a milky tea “pulled” so that it gets aerated. You can have an egg added in to the roti for a bit of extra protein. Not for a work day though, too heavy, only weekends and best after an early morning tennis match.
Russia: Any type of milk-based porridge (rice, oat, buckwheat, barley, millet, semolina etc) with berries or fruits preserves + bread with butter and cheese + tea.
Nice breakfast from my childhood.
It's not only americans, Italians often eat sweets with espresso in the morning, very different from scandinavian breakfast
the difference is we eat only a single croissant, and drink a cappuccino/espresso with it. That's it.
@@AccendinoMCM Well in America we don't eat a huge breakfast everyday. For most people it is a small quick meal and the diner style is not usually made often.
@@AccendinoMCM in Croatia aswell. If I have time I boil an egg or something. But when in hurry than a croisant and coffee
@@AccendinoMCM if you think Americans have a huge stack of pancakes and corn syrup for breakfast each day, you've been severely misled
@@hegotdrip1319 and a lot of italians just skip breakfast altogether or just drink a quick espresso... It goes both ways.

I live in Norway. My daily breakfast is usually about four pieces of toast with butter and either honey or jam. Occasionally I might have cereal as well or eggs instead, but pancakes are only for the weekends.
Well, I definitely sympathize with not wanting a sugar bomb in the morning, but toast is also a common breakfast food in the US. I know plenty of people that just have buttered toast and coffee for breakfast if they don't want anything heavy or sugary. I personally like something called a "breakfast sandwich," though I don't know how popular that is (I know at least one fast food restaurant has something similar called a Breakfast Jack). It's basically toast, with fried eggs, a slice of ham, and a slice of cheese, which I think is somewhere between a full diner breakfast and just plain toast. I'm not sure if you could really call my breakfast much of a dessert, though I definitely get how people would say that about pancakes with syrup or breakfast cereals.
No Americans with jobs or school in the morning have time to prepare these huge, lavish meals. We normally just have toast or fruit.
Breakfast Burrito from the gas station on the way in!
Fruit for breakfast?!?! But that's so sweet!! It's basically dessert!!! /s
@@BrookeBaubles fruits have good natural sugar that isn't very harmful for you, however most actual desserts, such as cake, are made with unnatural sugars that are much less healthy for you.

@@icecube7685 And as a Scandinavian (where breakfast normally is like oatmeal porridge, whole grain bread, eggs etc) I can assure you that some countries in Europe have some crazy unhealthy types of breakfasts
@@LinneAzalea exactly. Idk what all the hate from europe is about sometimes
Scandinavian breakfast has to take the cake for being the healthiest, while still being light and "breakfast-esque" (no meats, nothing fried, quick to prepare etc) for lack of a better term. Usually the swedes will have knäckebröd (dry, thinly sliced, bread-like vessel for hard-boiled eggs, cold-cuts or something else), or Solgryn (basically just oats with milk and maybe a few teaspoons of sugar on top, which can also be cooked into porridge, which i believe is quite common in all of Scandinavia. Norwegians will most likely eat the same things as the swedes with perhaps a few modifications like kneip-brød (wholegrain bread). Danes also favor porridge, oats with milk, granola with Skyr (Icelandic yoghurt-type milk-based protein-rich substance) with fruits and granola or something of the like. Usually pots and pans are not used, with the exception of porridge-making, since we work 8-4, instead of the american 9-5. Additionally, we need to reserve some time to scrape the ice off our windshields in the winter 😂
Id love to see the different countries' breakfasts. A lot of days if i do eat breakfast (typically 'dinner' since my fiance gets off at 7am I'll do a savory smaller meal. I'll do a bagel with cream cheese and veggies, a quesadilla with eggs sausage and peppers, bacon grilled cheese, bacon and eggs with toast. Occasionally ill do greek yogurt with oats and peanut butter or fruit, pancakes or french toast but thats once in awhile.
