The difference being that caffeine is consumed today pretty much the same way for hundreds of years (unlike modern cigarettes) and doesn’t have all the lobby behind it (at least not one as strong as alcohol or cigarettes, if any). The whole “smoking is healthy” phase was marketing (and the studies showing the link to cancer date back to 1920s) - same for eating bacon & eggs in the morning, or tricking people into consuming sugary corn flakes as if it’s a healthy food.
If I’d have to bet, I’d say we’ll trend to having purer caffeine drinks, or maybe better understand how it plays out with other chemicals.
Eggs are pretty nutritious and don't have a lot of calories. I eat mine with a small amount of bacon and feel full 'til lunch. It is odd to me that you put it in the same breath as sugary cereals.
Sorry, I meant specifically the combo of bacon & eggs. Bacon, historically, isn't a breakfast food - it just became a staple in the US due to a lot of marketing, trying to make it sound "healthier" than it is (in particular the nitrite-heavy, thin-sliced bacon sold in supermarkets, which is a lot unhealthier than the european/canadian style)
I'd assume it depends on where the eggs come from: Are eggs that are from caged chickens fed antibiotics, the same as eggs that come from chickens that are free to run around and feed on food made only from organic plants?
No chicken are fed antibiotics! It’s against the law and chicken manufacturers use that as a marketing ploy - “antibiotic free chicken” is as much as “water is wet”. Also free range is a sham - you can add a small fence leading to outside opening but the rest of the building can be dark and crowded and still call it free range. The chicken industry is truly a modern day mafia
