“Then quit claiming to know what others had for breakfast.”

Read what I wrote. I didn’t claim to know what others had for breakfast. I asked if since the Latins effectively cut out fasting before reception of the Eucharist, did people have bacon, eggs, toast, coffee with milk, etc. I mean, apparently your hierarchs don’t think a fast lasting longer than the Mass itself is necessary before receiving the Eucharist, so that certainly leaves open the option, as far as your hierarchy is concerned, of eating a big breakfast with meat and other animal products, or am I missing something? I have to tell you that such a cavalier attitude towards the Eucharist has to be a cause of concern for Orthodox Christians as we watch our hierarchs speak with yours about reunion and that concern, among others, as a matter of Orthodox ecclesiology could prevent a reunion even if the hierarchs want one.

I did before I posted. It's a little habit I've developed.

But, I get it, you are a better Christian and a better Catholic than the rest of us.
