…that they skip breakfast and I’m curious about y’all’s opinion on this statement. By this logic, I would assume that many more people are fasting than we may think! I’m realizing that that phrase means “I leave the house before chewing and swallowing something.” Often I think people believe that they are skipping breakfast, though they stop for coffee with add ins on the way to work or have a snack around 10:00 AM. I would love to hear some stories about personal experiences about hearing or even using this phrase.
Yes, many people say that they skip breakfast even though they drink a cup of high calorie coffee. Some people would even say “I didn’t eat any breakfast, I just had coffee and a biscuit”. Some people eat junk food, which they don’t consider as breakfast. Some people eat fruit, and somehow they don’t consider that as food. So yes, the general population has a very diverse idea of what “breaking a fast” is.
I don’t really understand why this matters though. Unless you’re doing research, don’t mind others’ eating habits.
