Breakfast can be such a hassle when you have a dickie ticker (bad heart).  Most people pay little or no attention to nutrition and how hard it is to really get it in America these days, they just buy what they like or what shouts the loudest at them on TV. When you find yourself having to address the issue, look at the facts (minus as much hyperbole as possible) you quickly discover that since the 1950s the population of the US has been used as an endless stream of CRASH TEST DUMMIES for the food industry (I refuse to call them BIG FOOD because that sounds like a pitch for McDonald's or Denny's). Knowledge of what has what effect on what part of your body can leave you paralyzed with fear, staring at an open refrigerator or cupboard. Even though the scale revealed the horrible effects of this past holiday season I went for a cuppa joe and a bagel smeared with Orange Marmalade from Scotland.
