Chapter 71 - 71: Cereal (3)
In the Empire, "breakfast" represented indulgence.
This was closely related to the drinking culture of the Empire, where the nobility preferred to enjoy wine as their morning drink rather than water of poor quality.
Since they started drinking from the morning, meals became longer and more extravagant, and naturally, breakfast came to be seen as a symbol of 'vulgarity.'
Moralists believed that two meals a day, lunch and dinner, were sufficient, and the church described breakfast as a forbidden pleasure.
Meanwhile, the negative perception of breakfast was also related to social status, as those who had to eat breakfast regularly belonged to the lower social classes.
Breakfast was like a symbol indicating that one belonged to the impoverished class who had to endure hard industry work.
Due to such social perceptions, a culture of avoiding breakfast had formed in the Empire.
The change in that culture was due to the emergence of "fresh milk."
To be precise, it was through a single statement.
[ I think drinking milk in the morning has been helpful. ]
'Bianca' enjoyed drinking milk in the morning and considered it the secret to her growth.
