Senior editor at Mother Jones wants you to know that you should stop eating three meals a day for reasons including the fact that it is "racist." Yes — she actually uses the word "racist:" "Dogmatic adherence to mealtimes is anti-science, racist, and might actually be making you sick," proclaims the subhead to Kiera Butler’s Wednesday article, titled "Why You Should Stop Eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner."
Lol. How desperate is the National Review for something to write about? Too funny! There is nothing about racism in the article. You did read the actual article correct? Whoever wrote the 'subtext' was just using the Fox News method of attracting readers with some sensational words. I don't know that the author actually wrote that.
National Review apparently can't write any articles on their own. You can't make this stuff up.
That's not from the original article; that's from a think piece critical of the original article. The OP posted the link to the original article second. Read that. While still stupid for a headline, it's clearly not as inflammatory as it might seem.
Actually, "think piece" is giving it too much credit. It's an article for those who cannot think for themselves.
I feel vindicated here in my decision not to eat breakfast. I don't think I have eaten breakfast for over 40 years. However I do drink a cup of black coffee, which some on the left would doubtless regard as racist.

Coffee is racist and for white people. You may be able to shed the racist label if you only drink coffee that is fair trade and processed and served by union represented employees.

The American tradition of eating 3 meals a day was given to us by a "racist" culture. Native American tribes did not eat 3 timed meals per day, and European Americans took this as "evidence that natives were uncivilized."
Europeans said, "Civilized people ate properly and boundaried their eating, thus differentiating themselves from the animal kingdom, where grazing is the norm." Europeans actually watched Native Americans eat "as a form of entertainment."
And I (know) if you read the article you would find its 1000x more fact filled, informative, and medically important, when compared to the childish and manipulating conservative follow-up bellow.
How Titles Work:
A Racist, Homosexual, Islamo-fascist Takeover Approach to Getting Readers by ABQConvict
Say you call your article about the history of meal spacing, The History of Meal Spacing.
Short, concise, and tells you exactly what to expect in the article. With such a title you could potentially spark the interest of tens of readers some of whom will even be young enough to know what the internet is and how you can just click on the words on the screen and the article comes up!
Alternatively, you could entitle your article, OMG, Your Turkey Sandwich Kills Native American Children!
Now, who in their right mind, liberal or conservative, isn't going to be just a little bit curious as to what the hell the author is asserting here. Now the article should try to make at least some tenuous connection to the claim in at least one of the short paragraphs the fluff piece is made up of, and surely you will cause a s***storm of controversy, but who cares? You just got 250,000 hits and generated a load of ad revenue! Congratulations, you won the internet!
