I think it's safe to say that university is a stressful situation for any student. The amount of studying/homework/running to classes that one has gotta do is insane. Who has time to prepare a particularly nutritious breakfast on a morning when your first class starts at 8 AM and all you really want to do is drink a barrel of coffee? Pretty much nobody, that's who.
So, I guess it's justified to pick up an easy-to-grab breakfast and coffee on your way to that dreaded class. You're lucky to be on time after sprinting like an Olympian to catch the early bus with the cranky driver that obviously hasn't consumed enough coffee prior to starting his route. Coffee, a muffin, or even a breakfast sandwich from Subway or Tim Hortons is an acceptable way to go, in my opinion. But the one thing I've seen waaaaaaaaay too much of recently is the consumption of burgers for breakfast.
Seriously? Eating an A&W burger that early in the morning is NOT acceptable, no matter how bad your meat craving is. I don't care how delicious that uncle burger may be, you're going to be tasting that thing for the rest of your day. That amount of grease is not the ideal thing to be eating that early in your day.
On top of that, you've got the makeshift burger concessions scattered throughout campus fundraising for various things by selling freshly grilled meat patties to all the hungry students rushing around. But I frequently see them already set up and grilling by 9:30 AM!
What is this? Why are we ingesting so many burgers?? Does A&W really run out that quickly???
I know my criticism of this type of breakfast choice probably seems rather hypocritical given the fact that my family is generally eating weirder things than burgers in the morning. However, I still think beef before noon should be a no-no. Just sayin'.
