It's just that he posts things for the wrong reasons. And uses the wrong reasons to try to get people to listen to him.

Explain.  I just like to post interesting things.  I am a Factoid.

If you read that study carefully, you'll see several critical points, which were not addressed, and thus baseless generalizations were made.

Breakfast habits, nutritional status, body weight, and academic performance in children and adolescents.

Breakfast eaters generally consumed more daily calories yet were less likely to be overweight, although not all studies associated breakfast skipping with overweight.

Man, fuzzy sure gets the shaft around here, even though he almost always says factual things.

My point being he says lots of things that may have some basis in fact, but are mixed with a lot of twisted/unfactual things used to strengthen his arguments.  And he definitely doesn't know anything about persuasion... far too confrontational.

Persuade you to do what Mr. Megabyte?  What twisted things?  All I said was that don't think you can lose weight by skipping breakfast every single day.  It will be much harder to burn calories if that happens.

I think he means that when a person tries to express their views, they are trying to persuade people to believe what they believe, and he's saying you're not doing a good job of accomplishing that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I had three pieces of pizza.

I am tempted to quote and reply to fuzzy's post, but will instead simly say that I had orange juice and dark chocolate for breakfast.  I'm now having an energy vitamin water.

I had Corn Pops.  Did you know that they used to be call Sugar Pops?  Huh, what?  You don't believe me?  Big suprise.

believe what they believe

What the scientific and health community believes.  You can deny the facts just as people always do with religion.  Now that I think about it, I wouldn't expect simple minded gullible people like you to believe me.  Happy now?

Why again am I simple-minded? Because I don't believe what you or the scientific people do? And why the heck am I and the rest of the forums considered by you gullible? Seriously, back up what you say instead of just saying it.

Ok, this thread is for breakfast things, not arguing about facts and gullibility. I split those off into their own thread.

I just don't eat breakfast because I'm never hungry in the morning after I wake up. And when I am, I usually eat Burger King LUNCH items for breakfast. Or eat some cereal out of the box.

I don't eat breakfast, simply because either:
A. I wake up around lunch time, missing the meal altogether
or
B. Wake up and be out the door before I can even THINK of eating something.

Anyone ever take two pieces of peanut butter toast and make a sandwich with them? That's what I'm having for breakfast today.

Sorry, I was away and didn't reply to this sooner.  What twisted things?  For example, you did it again right here.  That was not what you said.  What you said was that everybody that skips breakfast will get fat.  Big difference.

EDIT: I suppose this was mostly covered in Steve's topic.
