How did the typical American breakfast come to be?

You know what I love that’s insanely disgusting?

That new (is it new?) breakfast sandwich from McDonald’s. Greasy, but such an indulgence. Pancakes (with built in syrup) for buns, eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage all wedged in the middle… eating it is like asking for obesity.

It’s like the stereotypical American breakfast in stereotypically American fashion–all in one.

My typical breakfast, though, and I consider it typically American, is Special K with spoonfuls of skim milk and half an apple. Plus water.

I think it came to be 'cos that’s what you can easily make when you have a farm.
