Stupid article aside, a large filling breakfast being good for you and the whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a complete and utter lie invented for advertisement.

Advertisement or not, if I eat something for breakfast I'm no longer hungry in the morning.
The point wasn't to skip breakfast, it was that a big one isn't necessary. Have a piece of toast, have a giant breakfast or none at all. It's usually fine to follow your bodies need if you're hungry or thirsty. It's just that some people think it's important to have a big breakfast, which is a untrue. A small refreshing or nurishing one is much better in many cases.
Oh absolutely, I agree
Joke's on them, 25% of Americans don't even eat breakfast.
