I just had a nice salad with french bread for breakfast. What?!# Who the hell would eat a bunch of veggies for breakfast? Many of the healthiest people throughout the world would. In most Asian countries, veggies with rice is a normal breakfast. In the Mediterranean, they may have veggies with their breakfast (pastry with spinach, veggie omelet) or fruit. The traditional American high processed carbohydrate breakfast is just that: traditional American. Cereal was invented originally as a health product before it became sugar smacks (notice that smack is also a term for heroin). Doughnuts were invented here and so was the high fat, high sugar frappuccino. The average American adult eats about 30 teaspoons of sugar per day. If you are not careful, you can get that before you even get into the car to go to work.
What's the difference?
Sugar is an inflammatory.
Vegetables are an anti-inflammatory.
Vegetables have fiber.
Sugar doesn't.
Vegetables are packed with nutrients.
Sugar is not.
You can begin your morning creating disease or maintaining health.
Sometimes, I choose the doughnut, sometimes I chose the salad.
Cool Link that shows how much sugar in different breakfast items.
Which do you choose?
