Ah, nothing like bacon and eggs in the morning.

00:14

It's a hearty meal that holds you together for the whole day.

00:17

It's a combination so obvious that it's been around

00:20

for as long as both foods existed.

00:22

Humans naturally loved these foods together,

00:25

so they became a staple of breakfast.

00:29

Or did they?

00:31

What if I were to tell you that the traditional combination

00:34

of bacon and eggs isn't part of our natural history,

00:37

but is instead a corporate conspiracy

00:40

orchestrated by society's true puppet masters?

00:43

It isn't a breakfast for champions.

00:45

It's a breakfast for sheeple.

01:02

We think that a lot of commonplace things

01:05

are the way they are because of collective free choice,

01:08

when in fact, sometimes,

01:10

one or two people alone

01:13

made a decision and created something

01:16

that is now taken for granted as part of society--

01:19

just part of life.

01:21

Here's the real story behind bacon and eggs.

01:24

It all begins with Sigmund Freud.

01:27

Or rather, his nephew, Edward Bernays.

01:31

Bernays is credited as the "Father of Public Relations,"

01:35

the product of a time when the world

01:37

had become just small enough

01:40

that you could manipulate a lot of people at once

01:43

because of the way that advertising, news,

01:45

and radio could reach a large number of people quickly.

01:49

Bernays took advantage of mass media

01:51

not with the intention to inform,

01:54

but with the intention to control.

01:57

In the 1920s, Ed Bernays asked a doctor

02:01

who worked at his agency whether a breakfast should be

02:04

heavy or light, and the doctor pretty much said,

02:07

"I guess heavy would be better."

02:09

Bernays then had that doctor

02:12

get 4,500 other doctors to confirm that.

02:15

- All of them concurred that a heavy breakfast

02:18

was better for the health of the American people.

02:21

- Then, Bernays lobbied newspapers

02:24

to publish that all these doctors were saying

02:27

you should eat a big ol' breakfast.

02:29

But he wasn't doing this to improve public health.

02:32

He was doing this because Beech-Nut Packing Company,

02:35

a major supplier of bacon,

02:37

was paying him to do it.

02:40

- The sale of bacon went up,

02:43

and I still have a letter

02:46

from Bartlett Arkell,

02:48

president of Beech-Nut Packing Company,

02:50

telling me so.

02:52

- So we collectively, as a country,

02:55

agreed that bacon was our breakfast meat of choice.

02:58

But we didn't actually make that choice at all.

03:00

And that's just breakfast.

03:03

Our lives are full of decisions that we think

03:05

we make of our own free will.

03:07

But do we?

03:08

[dramatic music]

03:11

These days, our markets are inundated

03:13

with products and choices.

03:16

But is having many choices good or bad?

♪ ♪

03:25

Most people say they like a lot of choices.

03:28

But do they really?

03:30

We took our cameras and a few pounds of jelly beans

03:32

to Venice Beach to find out.

03:34

First, we invited people to pick

03:36

one of two flavor choices.

03:39

- Yeah, good.

03:45

- Yeah, I'm happy with it. Yeah.

03:48

Thank you.

03:49

It was an easy choice to make.

03:51

I chose it 'cause I wanted something fresh in my mouth.

03:58

- I like it--I like lemon and citrus and everything like that.

04:03

Good taste. I'm happy with my choice.

04:05

- Most subjects were content with their selection

04:08

when it was a choice between two options.

04:10

But what happens when we offer more choices?

04:13

Will the subjects be just as happy with their decision?

04:16

- I see.

04:19

Not licorice...

04:21

Okay. Can I do more than one? Or just one?

04:24

- Oh, my goodness.

04:27

Mmm.

04:29

Mm-hmm.

04:31

Well, I'm kind of regretting not trying a fruit one.

04:35

Because with jelly beans, it's more--

04:37

fruit is more natural to me.

04:39

Like, I probably should have gone

04:41

for my first choice, raspberry.

04:44

Maybe I would have been happy.

04:46

- There's, um--I mean, there's a lot to choose from.

04:48

I'm gonna try one?

04:50

- Okay. Marshmallow.

04:56

- I don't know. Uh...

04:57

You're always questioning, like,

04:59

"Did I make the right choice," right?

05:00

Like, initially, I wanted to try pineapple,
