Well, seeing as how the origin of the phrase is credited to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg’s breakfast cereal company, you’re not really wrong. The guy was pretty unusual, helping to popularize germ theory, which immensely helped the field of medicine, but also pushing eugenics, the movement that in part inspired Nazism. Ultimately, I wouldn’t give much weight to his ranking of meal importance.
Edit: looks like I was wrong - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes along with his brother, but it was the brother who went on to start selling them, even after John told him not to.
I’ve always assumed that was propaganda pushed by big breakfast. /s

Kellogg was also a religious nutjob.
