I really dont understand the hate on this post?
It's just a catchy headline, I expect the article itself would actually discuss some of the reasons one might skip breakfast. And there are good reasons to skip breakfast, money aside.
If one suggests restricting how much one eats out of financial reasons, then that is a clear indicator that very likely there's a big systemic problem in the room we aren't discussing.
I agree. Malnourishment due to inequality (or any other reason) is bad. I also agree that there is a systemic problem where healthy food is drastically less accessible than unhealthy food.
I don't, however, think that this headline is an outrageous thing to say. I, for one, am choosing to buy less food than I usually eat (especially meat) due to its cost, but also for health and environmental reasons. There is more nuance than just "eat the rich".
