The idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a cultural truth for many, but its origin is not in scientific fact. In fact, the pervasive phrase and the concept behind it can be traced back to marketing campaigns designed to sell breakfast cereals. So, did Kellogg say breakfast is the most important meal of the day? The truth is both surprising and revealing about the power of advertising.

In 2019, MorningStar Farms announced its commitment to transition its product line to be 100% vegan by 2021, a promise that was not fully realized and sparked a major part of the ongoing MorningStar food controversy. This has fueled consumer debate over deceptive labeling, the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and other ethical concerns surrounding the popular meat-substitute brand.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, two distinct but powerful marketing campaigns cemented the idea that 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' into the public consciousness.

The humble cornflake was accidentally invented in 1894 by brothers John Harvey Kellogg and Will Keith Kellogg while they were preparing meals for patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan. Corn flakes cereal is fundamentally made from corn, specifically a type known as dent corn or field corn.
