Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I stopped eating breakfast most days. Don't need it. I rarely eat cereal when I do. And I used eat cereal so much when I was younger. Then I realized even the "healthy" cereal is not good for you. Just sugar disguised as something else.

When the commercials say [brand] [product] is a part of this complete breakfast, it would still be a complete breakfast with the cereal removed.

I've stopped eating breakfast, lunch, and most days dinner too! Gosh end stage capitalism is fun when for meals I just keep convincing my body that no, you aren't actually hungry as I drink more water.

I stopped eating breakfast not really to save money, but to extend my fasting for health benefits. I too skip most lunches. Autophagy can repair damage the human body goes through.

We really don't need to eat as much as we were programmed into thinking we do. Going from low-carb/keto to OMAD (one meal a day) made it easier to do.

Breakfast being the most important meal of the day was an ad campaign. Same with Milk doing a body good. It's all corporate nonsense.

Milk doing a body good

I'm a child of the 90s. My parents believed that so hard. I had to have a large glass of milk every night with dinner, and couldn't leave the table until it was gone. I'm also lactose intolerant. I have many memories of crying in pain in the bathroom :)

In high school my girlfriend's family had a milk fridge in the garage. A whole fridge full of gallons of whole milk. They went through over a gallon a day between her parents and 2 siblings. They bought into the propaganda hard.

I think there are some studies around, where people eating breakfast have an easier time to control their weight. They let them eat the same calories on a day and the breakfast group didn't take on weight. I think that might be because the breakfast group had higher energy levels and therefore also expended more energy by movement before lunch.

You can get unsweetened bran flakes, those are a great source of fiber and added vitamins. They suck, because they're unsweetened bran flakes, but healthy cereal does exist.
