What do you treat yourself to for the first meal of the day? They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which should give us enough energy for the whole day, so it is important that it is healthy and nutritious. What Americans have for breakfast is anything but that. America's first meal of the day is actually dessert disguised as breakfast!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it gives us the energy our body needs for normal functioning. Around the world, the food that ends up on the plate varies from country to country. In Slovenia breakfast usually consists of bread, spread (usually jam) and coffee. How about the Americans? In America, they eat desserts for breakfast, except that they call it breakfast!

Although health organizations recommend the maximum intake 12 tablespoons of sugar a day, Americans ingest an average of 23. Much of this sugar is consumed precisely through foods labeled as healthy and eaten for breakfast. Starbucks Chail Latte coffee for example, it contains as many grams of sugar as a piece of tiramisu, Greek yogurt with blueberries and as much sugar as a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Otherwise, it is McDonald's the most popular place for breakfast for Americans, so the data is not surprising.
