Dear Humans,

When I heard that Kraft was releasing a breakfast mac and cheese, I thought they were reformulating their recipe. Maybe they were going to add sausage crumbles or bacon pieces or work some scrambled egg in there. But no, they are just going to put the word breakfast on the box.

Meal rules are kind of funny. There are no laws stating what you can eat when. But as in most cases, custom is stronger than law. There was surely a good reason (or many good reasons) that humans started eating eggs, bacon, pancakes, and cereal for the first meal of the day. But why do we still do it?

I do enjoy breakfast for dinner every once in a while. But I don’t eat it every week like I eat tacos, pizza, or stir fry. But whenever I pour syrup on my pancakes while the sun is going down, I take a little pleasure in breaking the rules. I guess I’ll feel the same way when I’m chowing down on mac and cheese for breakfast.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
