In the 1920s, the Beech-Nut Packing Company, hired Edward Bernays, a public relations and advertising expert, to increase consumer demand for bacon. To do so, Bernays asked his agency’s internal doctor if a heavier breakfast would more beneficial than a lighter one for the American public.

But because the doctor knew that it was in his best interest to support Bernays suspicion, he confirmed the theory and wrote to 5,000 of his doctors friends asking them to confirm it as well. This ‘research’ of doctors encouraging Americans to eat a heavier breakfast – namely ‘Bacon and Eggs’ – was published in several major newspapers and magazines to great success. Beech-Nut’s profits increased rapidly and we now eat bacon and eggs for breakfast!

So is the "bacon and eggs" breakfast a break away from the traditional breakfast, whatever that traditional breakfast was? Is the "ALL AMERICAN BREAKFAST (and Canadian bacon)" a subtle poisoning of the family unit in that the psychology behind bacon and eggs is the same used to subliminally influence people into wanting (recklessly in mass quantity) something they don't need?

The mass mind is easier to control than the individual mind. In general humans tend to mimic one another ie nice little house with a White picket fence, two car garage, two kids and cat or dog...and once in a while the neighbors get together for a family oriented barbecue. And everyone is so friendly with each other.

Then one day George, down the road, bought Gladys a television. A month of game shows and soap operas made Gladys realize that she was a victim of spousal abuse. Then Andy, up the road, buys his old lady a Ford Galaxy 100, and now Gladys sees just how much abuse she's really being subjected to. Her slave master husband, George, was looking worse by the day...and then, Harriott next door gets a brand new dishwasher, a sink with a built-in garbage disposal, a new steam iron and electric kettle and Gladys is ready for a women's crisis center, one that has a sink with a built-in garbage disposal and it's own legal team that specializes in divorce and division of assets....if only George had not gone over to Billy's house for a beer that one day, it was Billy who just couldn't wait to show off his brand new Zenith Model 300SFX floor cabinet television C/W built in bar and extending ashtrays, George was hooked and wanted to impress his wife Gladys with a brand new TV too.

It's called, "KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES'"....people will buy buy buy just to maintain image and social strata.
An individual who sticks to himself and isn't influenced by wants but rather only by needs, is looked upon as a "weirdo" or social misfit. But the weirdos and misfits see what's going on and want nothing to do with it.

And here we are today, living in a clown world where contemporary generations don't even know how to cook "bacon and eggs".
