Yep! Not only is incredibly economical, it’s a healthier meal than most “traditional” American breakfasts.
Didn’t stop conservative media from deriding it as millennial over-indulgence. Vilifying the millennial tendency of frugality + preference for plants-based diet choices by portraying avocado toast as excessive and soy milk as emasculating, along with a concerted effort to deliver narrative to the /pol/ audience, it not only swayed the opinions of older generations, but spurred parts of the younger generations to resent each other. I’m sure meat industry profits were also in the mix somewhere.
The only winners in the culture war are the ones who drive the narratives, and it’s been that way in the US since radio was invented.
