John Green Not As Pleb As You'd Think

>“Why are breakfast food breakfast foods?" I asked them. "Like, why don't we have curry for breakfast?"

"Hazel, eat."

"But why?" I asked. "I mean seriously: How did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity? You can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. But the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich.”

John green repurposes Wittgenstein for the masses.

I'll admit that I found the OP pic mildly amusing

Wow, thanks user.

His prose is even worse than Philip K. Dick's

>provide good energy for a day of work
>easy for farmers to grab and cook in the morning
>easy and cheap for farmers and their families to consistently have
>small and quick to cook and eat, and get going

Yeah it doesn't make sense eggs are associated with breakfast.

what is the power of volkisch rationalism in the face of quirky twee normflouting?

>contains no carbs which is what the body needs after a fast
>chickens won't lay eggs in the dark and farmers often awaken before sunrise
>small size is not a benefit, oatmeal is as available to a farmer and cooks quicker with higher nutrition

>tradition since when?
You're right, it doesn't

CITATIONS

i have curry for breakfast

People didn't used to eat eggs and bacon for breakfast.

>Before this, the majority of Americans ate more modest, often meatless breakfasts that might include fruit, a grain porridge (oat, wheat or corn meals) or a roll, and usually a cup of coffee.

>In the 1920s, Bernays was approached by the Beech-Nut Packing Company – producers of everything from pork products to the nostalgic Beech-Nut bubble gum. Beech-Nut wanted to increase consumer demand for bacon. Bernays turned to his agency’s internal doctor and asked him whether a heavier breakfast might be more beneficial for the American public. Knowing which way his bread was buttered, the doctor confirmed Bernays suspicion and wrote to five thousand of his doctors friends asking them to confirm it as well. This ‘study’ of doctors encouraging the American public to eat a heavier breakfast – namely ‘Bacon and Eggs’ – was published in major newspapers and magazines of the time to great success. Beech-Nut’s profits rose sharply thanks to Bernays and his team of medical professionals.

Deepest lore

what other secrets do you hold grandmaster?

Pretty interesting read, but has literally no information on eggs. It's entirely about marketing bacon for a bacon company. And the article is severely lacking sources besides the video (not that I doubt it, but desire to know more intensified). Also, you're wrong to say "people didn't eat" those foods for breakfast before. They just didn't as much as they do now.

And regardless, both bacon and eggs are cheap and plentiful, and they're simple to prepare, which is ideal for breakfast. If someone wants more than grain/fruit with their breakfast, bacon/eggs are ideal for that, you just cook them in a skillet and they're ready in a couple minutes.

Anyone who eats scrambled eggs for anything besides breakfast is disgusting. I don't care about your "Le random societal norms xD" it's legitimately off-putting to eat scrambled eggs for lunch or dinner.

lol

>provides zero (0) reasons not to eat eggs with meals other than breakfast

why?

We eat eggs for breakfast because they are easy as fuck to make from scratch. All you do is crack the egg into a hot pan and wait a couple of minutes.

For lunch and dinner you have more time and energy to prepare something more complicated.

>there are people this spooked

>"Hazel, eat."

Protip: when you see a reply like this, you should interpret it like this: "I'm not interested in this discussion."
Protip 2: Don't talk to people about topics they aren't interested in. Find a person who is.

I had scrambled eggs on toast today at 2pm, and I don't care

Because I feel a physical revulsion towards it.

Shut up, slave.

it's 10pm here, I'll make some eggs
want some?

Quick google search reveals that your average curry takes from 40 minutes to 4 hours to cook, depending on the type

Most people don't exactly want to wake up at 4 AM just to have a stupid fucking curry for breakfast, I'm sure John should know that since he's a hardworking 9 to 7 guy and not just a nu-male with a youtube channel

Why do people get disgusted when they find out their girlfriend slept with 10 guys before he met her? It's like cereal or something.

The Dichotomy of Breakfast Foods and the Inherent Value of Revolting Against the Assigned Gastronomic Social Construct

With all due respect to the so called scrambled eggs and ham specials clearly labeled behind foggy plastic covers in Waffle Houses all around America, not excluding Denny’s, Crackle Barrels and the like. What makes a food a “breakfast” food is quite folly.

If one examines the cultural paradigm of Breakfast, as parallel to Americana, one is faced with a choice: either accept predialectic libertarianism or conclude that the raison d’etre of the scrambled eggs is social comment, but only if Derrida’s essay on cultural Marxism and Tip Inclusion is valid; if that is not the case, we can assume that breakfast has objective value. Von Ludwig suggests that we have to choose between predialectic hashbrowns and neosemiotic capitalist sausage.

However, many narratives concerning Foucaultist power relations may be found. If cultural Marxism holds, we have to include tip for the subtextual breakfast service after 11am, a paradigm of expression and established patriarchial theory. However, an abundance of narratives concerning a mythopoetical breakfast meals for dinner as a whole does exist. Derrida uses the term ‘predialectic breakfast for dinner’ to denote not discourse, as subdialectic theory suggests, but prediscourse.

In the works of Snyder, a predominant concept is the distinction between cape kino and cape shit. But the subject is contextualized into a cultural Marxism that includes art as a paradox (scrambled eggs as breakfast/extraterrestrial as godhead). Marx uses the term ‘Hella epic quip theory’ to denote the paradigm, and thus the dialectic, of textual class.

The primary theme of Looking for Alaska’s critique of the Country Gravy narrative is not deconstruction, but postdeconstruction. However, Derrida promotes the use of Baudrillardist hyperreal Biscuits to challenge class divisions. The premise of TFIOS implies that the goal of the eater is deconstruction. Therefore, several theories concerning cultural Marxism may be discovered. Capitalist capitalism states that expression is a product of communication. Thus, TFIOS suggests the use of cultural Marxism to read sexual identity. In Ghostbusters Feig deconstructs subcultural capitalist theory; in Spy, M. McCarthy affirms the Country Gravy narrative.

It could be said that Green suggests that we have to choose between the material paradigm of context and neocultural capitalist theory. Singlehandedly and without pretense arriving at the conclusion that we must imagine the scrambled eggs isolated and free to choose a gastronomical denomination. Ok? Ok.

How about you do a little reading on your own instead of waiting for articles to be spoonfed to you. Then you can look up the citations for yourself

Quick to cook, you dont even have to cook them

Cracker Barrel is pretty good, senpai.

>witgreenstein

Scrambled eggs are for children.

Why is it jews every single time? /pol/ really is always right

this is not a breakfast sandwich, pleb

Breakfast is for plebs anyway. So is lunch.

>They're fucking disgusting and probably to blame for our societal collapse towards rightism.
Don't you have a trashcan burning to attend?

Not inheretly

Hey guys my name is marketing man please BUY AND CONSUME [PRODUCT] FOR [TIME]

I bet you faggots eat at actual times instead of when you're hungry good job being socially conditioned faggots LUL

i like to shit at the same time every day, so a routine is good for me

Yeah but why

Being self employed allows me to be free of schedule and do things when needed/wanted. I don't see the point in structure or limiting myself. I'm shitting right now.

Shut up, you dumb social liberals.

>it's another "dude every tradition was made by ad companies in the mid 20th century" episode

/pol/ is always right

just wait until you read about engagement rings

Have you never seen a movie?

They get up in the morning, collect the eggs, eat them and sell the rest

It's frustrating to learn or realise this stuff for me. Baudrillard is right about everything.

fucking bernays. he ultimately caused the downfall of America

Why do Cuck writers and jews always have to criticise white western masculine civilisation like this?
All of them would be living under sharia law if it wasn't for it but instead they go out and decide to criticise are breakfast norms?
I fucking hate every single one of these bluepill subhumans and will make sure to personally gas john green myself on the day of the rope for being such a cuck loser.

Steak with a fried egg

It's literally called "break fast," you twit.

>not reading one of our time's greatest scribes

wow, can you not?

If he's not talking about eggs laid morning of, then "easy to grab and cook" applies to almost all food available to a pre-industrial farmer. As other user said, it's called "break fast" for a reason. To anyone in the biological sciences, you're fasting whenever you aren't eating, and the time between dinner and breakfast is the longest of the day. At that point the body has completely run out of energy from its last major round of glycolysis and is tapping into glycogen and fatty acid reserves, so you need some fucking carbs to get your blood sugar up.

>eating more than one type of food at a meal

What is this, Petermas?

But eat more hormone plastered eggs, goyim. They're good for you.

I regularly eat eggs throughout the day, I don't know what you fags are talking about. Morning and evening, sometimes even for lunch if I'm in a hurry, because I'm free from the constraints of culture and useless convention. I am a fierce nutritionite.

Kant or not, the number of people who can afford quality animal products is miniscule.

Why even post the picture?

Is this his attempt at writing Seinfeld?

whoa

Cool, so you eat breakfast foods all day. What a rebel you are.

And what's about them?
