Tim spins out an extended riff imagining a neglectful home life for kids denied school breakfast, questioning aloud whether feeding hungry children is actually beneficial.
- Tim describes waking up to find your mother drunk in a house dress, laughing and crying at old pictures while your father is dead or missing.
- Kids without breakfast at home can't replicate the 1950s commercial fantasy, and some parents are already at work when they wake up.
- Tim expresses genuine uncertainty about whether children should have school breakfast, saying he's in the middle on the question.
- Eating a big lunch ruined his opportunities because the carbohydrates and sugar made him fall asleep or zone out in his chair.
- Maybe the solution is to keep kids on a fast and healthy, rather than feeding them breakfast at all.
