Okay, here is a hypothetical situation for you:
Let’s say a person - it could be anyone - wakes up really hungry and decides to go to the supermarket to get some things for breakfast.
On the way to the store, they make a little list. Eggs, bacon, milk. Just a few items to make bfast at home.

if, for the sake of argument, they got to the store and abandoned the whole idea of making breakfast and just bought a giant piece of carrot cake and ate it in the car, would that be so wrong?

(it was a really good piece of carrot cake. I mean, as carrot cake goes, this was an excellent example. Plus, I now have Lucky Charms, Fresca, and tater tots in the house. I dunno, I was hungry. It made sense at the time.)
Eat dessert first; a motto for 2025 if there ever was.🧁
THE CAKE IS **NOT** A LIE
You’re lucky to be able to get in your car and drive down the street to get some groceries for breakfast. I have to drive 60 miles to do that (textbook “boony living”). I’m ready to eat the bakery by the time I get there!
How long was the “crash and burn”??
Carrot cake is perfect.
Carrot cake is definitely part of several major food groups🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
It’s rare!
You should be proud!
Let's end this controversy right now.
I guess I have to work on my delivery.
Including excess!! 😉😄
it's nutritionally appropriate on a lot of levels.
Today is National Bacon Day, so you have a shot at a do-over. 🥓
😎
You did fine!
That was 1985 & I recommend it.
also no whether you ate it or not lol
you are valid :)
its half the reason i buy donuts before going home from work.
Secondly, it has carrots in the name, how could you go wrong?
You’re good.
❤️
but I would've eaten tf outta that bad boy.
Apparently not.
People have urges and compulsive needs. Most of us have been there, done that sort of thing from time to time.
Vegetables: Check
Dairy products: Check
Egg: Check
Grains: Check.
I think you are good.
But now I’m craving carrot cake…damn😂
He could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch & dinner, w/a side of lasagne & meatballs.
Plus a lot of salt - “the Irish spice.”
The jaw goes out…the cow drops in😂
Where it all goes…I don’t know. 💗🤣🤷♀️
(Also the cake probably had the milk and eggs in the ingredients, so...breakfast. Voilà!)
And I still miss TAB.
I’m so glad I found you here.🦋
{I am not a historian, and have no evidence to support my claims, but there's no evidence to disprove them either so let's just go with it. 😄}
And so convenient.
If, however, they called that a “wee bit of carrot cake” just to tide them over till they got home to prepare a proper brekkie; That would be entirely appropriate.
Now throw away the lucky charms and Fresca (ugh) but hang on to the tater tots because you never know.
Also that sad picture you took of the frozen tree? Lots of other fine trees behind it. You’re gonna be ok.

Carrot cake always have chocolate on top 😋
(metaphors getting mashed up like culinary inspiration…)
You did nothing wrong.
Can I lick the plate?
(she said, her mouth full of carrot cake)
Hell no!
It’s all good.
Dairy.
Protein in the eggs and cream cheese icing.
And if it had walnuts, more protein.
Balanced breakfast for the win.
😋
LOL
Buy the breakfast stuff anyway because you'll need it another day!
Cooking gourmet meals from scratch is overrated.
In fact, this best summarizes my own take on cooking:
https://theoatmeal.com/comics/cook_home
Bad decision
the cinnamon rolls were RIGHT THERE!!!
It has vitamins (carrots, right?)
And cream is milk
And flour is bread
I'm sure there's egg for proteins...
You go man! 😍 It's healthy as ***! 😁
Best decision 😄👍🏾
Truth be told, when Sara Lee was still selling carrot cake, I did that all the time!!! Color me shameful!!! So addicted!
It’s all in how you look at it.
i've been hungry too
"Now, this person is really hungry, mind you…
if, for the sake of argument, they got to the store and abandoned the whole idea of making breakfast and just bought a giant piece of carrot cake and ate it in the car, would that be so wrong?"
While I was out anyway, I'd run thru the drive-in at Dunkin, "I got up early to get donuts for everyone" how thoughtful am I?
I'd have gotten Munchkins for myself - a little something to settle my stomach...after the carrot cake.
hope you enjoyed it
+++ to this post!
vegetables - carrot
Protein - eggs
Dairy - cream cheese
Grains - flour
✅ Effective at filling the pangs of temporary hunger
✅ Convenient
✅ Eggs, carrots, chopped nuts, some dairy, some oil, some flour, some sugar, etc
Now go back in the store and buy yourself some protein and fruit juice. You can have a better breakfast tomorrow.
As proof of this statement, I include the text of an earlier, pie related post from this morning:
Seems like a well balanced breakfast. Should've also got bacon tho. Bacon is AMAZING on cake.
And that carrot cake looks excellent

Additionally since we are talking about an uncontrolled study, there are lots of variables in play
Keep up the good work!
Then Mom comes down the stairs.....
... I mean: it is not wrong, you were hungry ...
.. but for my own's sake, you could have bought a bag of carrots and taken a picture of that - would have saved me a trip
But I will tell you I once talked his favorite pizza shop into mailing a frozen half cooked pizza to my husband for his birthday. So I bet I could get some to you
And despite what our parents told us, there are no laws about this. Have choccy cake and a milkshake if you want! 😁
LOL
You had NO CHOICE but to eat them all.
GP: you make your own cakes from butter milk eggs and fortified flour, right?
Mum: Well, of course.
GP: Let him eat cake for a bit.
Brother: Ner ner ner ner ner
Me: smh
Butter - you put butter on toast for breakfast
Eggs - a breakfast classic
Sugar - in breakfast cereals and jam
Flour - in bread for toast
So that means you have had classic breakfast ingredients, but with additional v healthy carrots! Well done you!!!
Now bad carrot cake is a different matter.
You might as well have had a frittata 🤷🏻♀️
I see nothing wrong here
Carrot cake is delicious! 😏
It's rare for me to have a traditional breakfast. They're propaganda from corporations.
Usually I start with a salad and then whatever I feel like that's healthy.😊
Scientific Fact.
I'll allow it. Godspeed. 🫡
😀
My problem not yours.
I'll let you know.
Now beets,or turnips...🫠
@theoatmeal.bsky.social knows.
You end up picking up stuff that you wouldn’t necessarily eat because it’s quick
Anything can be breakfast food if you have it for breakfast. #norules
Sausage patty on a biscuit is breakfast, hamburger on a bun is not.
Hash browns breakfast, french fries not.
There's a very wavy line separating muffins (breakfast) and cupcakes (not).
*asking for a friend.
You made a healthy choice✔️
Only me? 😜
Perpetuated by I-Hop
This post makes me sad and happy at the same time.
Amateurs 🙄😉
Not sure about the rest though, never eaten a whole pie before.
Thanksgiving pumpkin pie drove me to this deviant behavior. I will suffer the consequences to learn my lesson.
* because * it's excessive
Cake is the gold lame of foods
We made cake popular as it is, to make wealthy people ill, and too many people forget this
That's why Marie Antoinette said that
It's "let them see what this hell is like if they want then"
But you have to understand why rich people were sold many many cakes to begin with
So it's just like not working out and eating a tuna salad, right?!
Right?!
Cream cheese is high in calcium & dairy.
Flour, sugar & oil are all plant based.
It’s basically a deconstructed reconstructed hidden green breakfast smoothie, isn’t it?
B. I really needed this today, thank you. 💙💙
