  • cereal made by Kellog then packed with sugar post ww2 due to huge sugar surplus then sold directly to kids and convinced everyone that it was good for you somehow. The Vietnamese eat Pho for breakfast which is why they won the Vietnam war.
  • The low fat craze convincing everyone that unsaturated fats are bad and putting sweetners in everything
  • dairy industry convincing everyone to drink milk even though adults dont need milk and large portions of the population are lack toes intolerant
  • the food pyramid that put wheat and corn into everything and continues to do so making my coeliac ass life very difficult
  • italian food isn’t even real
  • contemporary protein craze to sell cheese creating waste product and probably combat vegans by making raw meat eaters filled with worms

Any others im missing?

Bacon is an op. And not just the craze of the late 2000s, which was an astroturfed viral marketing campaign. Even the very notion of Bacon being a staple breakfast food was an ad campaign in the 1920s that caught fire.

Holy fuck I went to look and didn't even get to any mention of bacon before I got to this:

His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist "Torches of Freedom", and his work for the United Fruit Company in the 1950s, connected with the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan government in 1954. Bernays' involvement in Guatemala facilitated US imperialism and contributed to decades of civil unrest and repression, raising ethical concerns about his role in undermining democratic governance.

Maybe associating it with breakfast needed a push but i don't think most people needed propaganda to want to eat that's basically smoked meat candy
