I came across a curious story of the emergence of a common breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon:
"It all started with Sigmund Freud, or rather with his nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays is considered the father of public relations.
In the 1920s, Edward Bernays asked a doctor who worked at his agency about what breakfast should be, dense or light? And he replied: "I think a hearty breakfast would be healthier." Then Bernays asked to find another 4,500 doctors who would also confirm this. Then Bernays lobbied the newspapers to publish what all these doctors said about the benefits of a hearty breakfast. But he did it not because he cared about people's health, but because the company "Beech-Nut", a major supplier of bacon, paid him for it. Bacon sales have increased many times, and Bernays still has a letter from Barclay Arkel, president of the Beech-Nut company, in which he informed him about it. "
