I think the issue is that sugary cereal is both bad for you and not that enjoyable. For the same price, I can get a bahn mi with veggies, pate, and egg or pho or fried ramen. I look at people who eat cereal now that it's no longer cheap the same way I look at people who eat at starbucks or dominoes when there's a cheaper, better, local place right next door; wondering what's going on in their life that they're not willing to deal with the cognitive load of seeing what alternatives exist for breakfast.
See, this is what I feel about alcohol, but I don't go around judging people for enjoying it. Tastes are subjective. We each get to decide for ourselves what we like, and if we differ thats just fine!
So your breakfast is a minimum of 460 calories or so for ramen, and the prep time for the meal to be perhaps 20 minutes?
My cereal (with milk) is about 240 calories and the prep time is about 2 minutes.
I have about 10 minutes for breakfast in the morning and you're suggesting something that is going to be twice the calories and ten times the prep time. If that high calorie breakfast with lots of prep time is worth it to you, by all means, go ahead. You're welcome to make your own choices and they don't affect me in the slightest. I don't judge you for it, either.
That particular example, you buy it from a vendor, for 150-200 yen or 20-30 VND, not every example applies to literally everyone.
But also cold noodles and broth out of the fridge with a pre-made hard-boiled egg arent a bad way to start the day when the heat index gets to 118.
As for calories, dont make so much, dont drink the broth or you will have a heart attack.
