I’ve always been curious why the “continental breakfast” was just bread and coffee. (Orange juice not a regular part of it.) When I consider though, historically bread was a substantial part of the diet and had nutritional value until the 20th century. – even white bread, desired by the upper classes. So you could get by on bread for breakfast for a long time after breakfast developed into the meal we recognize today.

Gasp! To think the paleo diet originated in Lascaux…

I’m more concerned about the lack of fruit.
