How many hours does it take you to earn breakfast

For milk, egg, toast, and fruit, it takes under a minute.

I had 6 eggs this morning.

Eggs were on sale at Aldi for 65 cents a dozen.

Breakfast this morning cost me 32.5 cents.

It took me 40 seconds or so to earn breakfast today.

Probably took you longer to eat it. It would be cheaper to hire someone else to eat it while you earn another 3 breakfasts

So what exactly happens somewhere like Caracas where this chart says breakfast costs more than a day's wages? That would mean that people couldn't afford to eat even one meal a day. Is everyone starving to death?

Or maybe the lower-earning classes can't afford the breakfast of the rich? I wouldn't mind a gourmet meal every day.... apart from the fact that I'd have to make it

A cup of milk, one egg, 2 pieces of toast, and a piece of fruit is hardly a gourmet meal or breakfast of the rich, at least not by our standards.

breakfast is seriously the cheapest meal to make in terms of dollar cost if you cook yourself (of course there's the time component). Around here, businesses charge $5-8 for breakfast - 2 eggs, a starch, a meat. The cost to do it yourself is literally $0.50 or less.

Those people are likely eating plain starches for super cheap or eating food out of rich people's garbage. Those things are likely luxuries in some places around the world. Many people in the poorest nations eat literally anything that has caloric content. Bugs, rats, cats, dogs, scrounged fruits, whatever. And yes, some also do only eat 1 meal a day.

Something like that.
I'm doing high protein, clean carbs, low fat. And hitting the gym 6 days a week. I'm down 17lbs since Xmas.

Fresh foods like eggs, milk and fruit can be very hard to come by in some places. Curacao is also an island, so products from things that require space, like dairy cows and chickens are likely imported, raising the prices.

I'm sure the actual breakfast they eat just is very different and much cheaper than eggs and milk. It's an interesting infograph, but it doesn't reflect cost of living very effectively when it's using the same products everywhere.

you mean like pricing a pork chop dinner in a 100% muslim country? Or a nice juicy steak in india?

As far as foods in general go, anything that is a meat or meat byproduct like eggs and milk tend to be more expensive and difficult to get than basic staples like rice or beans or whatever. This is because you need livestock (cows and chickens) to feed on grass or grain in large quantities to produce the meat or meat byproduct. In a poor country, those resources would go towards feeding people, not animals.
