I don't know who you're eating breakfast with, but if I ate as much sugar as her, I'd probably die.

Seriously, couple scrambled eggs, couple slices of bacon, an english muffin with butter, and a cuppa coffee doesn't really have much sugar.

Read her breakfast description closely and compare it with mine (typical breakfast for me, BTW).

Case in point.

Homemade Bearnaise sauce? Not the packaged stuff?

It disappeared for a while, along with all it's sugary fruity goodness, only to come back after a few years later with its soul ripped out :P
awalterj explained the sad truth as to why in an old thread I made about the same subject:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/what_iswas_your_favorite_brand_of_breakfast_cereal/post35

One serving of shredded wheat = negligible amount of sugar
Cracklin' Oat Bran = 15g of sugar
Elderflower honey = approx. 10g of sugar depending on amount used, although it's considered a "healthy" sugar
Rapsberries + blueberries = approx. 5g of sugar (assuming she's just sprinkling them and not using a full serving), although again considered a "healthy" sugar
Coffee = variable amount of sugar since she's adding sugar, but probably somewhere in the ballpark of 5g of sugar

Total: Approx. 35g of sugar, give or take a few grams. The most sugar-filled thing she's eating is the Cracklin' Oat Bran, but she's apparently already aware it's not that great for her.

Compare that to an average breakfast of pancakes, maple sryup, eggs, and bacon:
Pancakes = approx. 13g of sugar
Maple syrup = 14g of sugar per serving, but most people use way more than one serving, so I'd say at least 28g
Eggs = negligible amount of sugar
Bacon = negligible amount of sugar

Total: Approx. 41g of sugar depending on how much maple syrup is used.

So really, she's not that bad off.
The only real concern here would be, as tinyE said, the effect on her bowels, but we have no idea what her colon is capable of. I believe in her.

Ok, point taken, but you should have compared her breakfast to the one I listed. No pancakes, no maple syrup.

I guess this means she has a capable colon? I think this is probably the first discussion outside of a proctologist's forum that the capability of colons has ever been discussed. We are making history here, fellas.

Considering how many people in the world have their heads up their behinds, I doubt this is true.

Count chocula FTW,

Well, I mean, of course it's negligible at that point when you cut out the sugary stuff like cereal, waffles, and pancakes.
It's just that if you want cereal, waffles, or pancakes, well...
Should I ring Guinness?
Never actually tried that before. What's it taste like? Cocoa puffs?

My main complaint with that type of stuff (other than the sugar) is that it's time-consuming and messy to make. I'd rather toss an english muffin in the toaster, and bam. Bread in seconds. BTW, I should have mentioned that I use real butter, no margarine for me. Also, I take my coffee black, unflavored, no sugar.

Anyway, maybe you could write a paper on the psychology of breakfast. Who chooses what and amounts of sugar with relation to personality types and that sort of thing.

You can't make homemade four times a week for ten people.

I mean you could, but you wouldn't have time to do anything else, like cook the eggs. :P

And no one has complained.

Well, since they didn't know what it was in the first place, they don't know what they are missing and have nothing to complain about, right?

On a side note, I saw in the Spore thread your lamentations about living in the UP. So, is it better or worse living up there than St. Louis? You know, Teddy Roosevelt spoke highly of the UP and liked the area quite a bit. You ever been to Isle Royale? I always wanted to see it, but never made it there.

Worse!? Where did you get that idea? Seriously.

This is the best place in the world to live. Anyone anywhere else is a sucker and that's a fact!

Well, I guess that answers that question. That reminds me, a pasty sounds tasty right now, I just don't feel up to making some. Had any lately?
