It's interesting how things that we do in life (routines and behaviors) become common sense practices among large groups of people. But then when dig to find out and understand the origins of how these routines and behaviors came about, we find out that they really aren't based on anything of value - often just company marketing.

I've heard that many researchers are having difficulty finding evidence for breakfast being important for peoples health. It seems that only the research being conducted by food manufacturers are finding significant results in their research but these findings are proving to be difficult to replicate when the research is conducted by others out side of the food industry.
