Better yet no breakfast. You really don’t need it. I'm usually a late brunch and fairly early dinner type.
For early in the morning, my coffee gets me going: fresh ground arabica coffee from Laos and unsweetened coconut milk -- high MCT and low carb)

The egg mcmuffin is a lot better than you think A homemade egg and meat sandwich is quite good for you. From McDonald's, maybe not so much...

Maybe the word obesity is racist. I see lots more obese black women than white women. Where I live there are plenty of non-Mexican Hispanics and they are always slim. They are more concerned with looking good and healthy than the local whites and blacks and no freakin’ tattoos!

Where I live there are plenty of non-Mexican Hispanics and they are always slim. They are more concerned with looking good and healthy than the local whites and blacks Same. The thought of an obese Thai lady used to be incomprehensible. I know my wife panics if her weight gets over 60kg/132 lbs...she tries to keep it around 53-54kg/117-119 lbs.
Obesity is still very rare (but as Western food becomes more available, it's, sadly, going up, particularly in the big cities)

Use fatass instead.
The scientific term is fatphukitis, iirc.

So, when will they also ban in shape and shapely and fit and short and ugly and handsome and beautiful and black and white and tan and... well, any other word that describes a human that looks different from other humans. He and she and her and him, are already ‘gone’.
Next, we’re going to be banning smart and stupid and articulate and genius and professor and teacher and student, since, they all convey a sense of superiority or inferiority, and as we all know by now, that’s racist or biased.
We’re going to be running out of words and we won’t have a way to communicate.

Do the kids know that the term ‘tenured professor’ is a synonym for ‘plantation master’ in Olde English?
True fact, dood!
