As an older American from the deep south, it's just a holdover from cheap high calorie/high carb foods to start the day back when America was mostly agrarian.

Then when the 50s rolled around it got combined with nutrition concepts of a "balanced breakfast" by cereal marketing firms and romanticized to sell even cheaper products to children/parents; sugared cereal.

For me, breakfast is bacon, eggs and biscuits or toast. And maybe grits if I'm feeling like it. I like hash browns but I don't like making them.

It's just leftover marketing. Eat what makes you happy.

It's just southern racists. It's all just southern racists.

You're not wrong, but post WWII Republicans were more than willing to play along so long as big business got theirs.

IMO, it was when the CRA, the EPA and other "anti-business" initiatives came into existence that "small government" because a buzz word for them.

They made a completely wrong turn when they teamed up with Evangelicals in the 80's and let them into positions of power in the party in the 90's culminating in the bat-shit-crazies we have now.
