{13.6} What Happened to Breakfast? How Capitalism and Patriarchy Hijacked the Morning Meal
Listen on:
Do you ever feel like breakfast is an afterthought – something you grab on the go or skip in favour of coffee to see you through to lunchtime?
It's so easy to let breakfast be the one meal we forget about or put the least thought in.
But this week on Raising Healthy Mothers, I’m digging into how capitalism and the patriarchy have reshaped the way we think about breakfast, pushing convenience over nourishment and making us believe we simply don’t have time to sit down for a proper meal first thing in the morning.
We’ll explore:
How capitalism turned breakfast into a rushed, processed, grab-and-go affair.
Why the patriarchy has made skipping breakfast feel like a virtue.
The lingering impact of diet culture (remember THAT Special K diet?).
Why a slow, nourishing breakfast is more than just about food
If you’re stuck in the cycle of coffee-fuelled mornings and exhaustion by 10am, this episode is for you. Let’s challenge the systems that got us here and re-claim breakfast – even if it's just for 10 minutes a day.
