Over or Under. That's Just Like Your Opinion, Man.

I'm a night owl so I tend to skip it. And when I do eat it regularly I tend to get bored of the options available. So I guess that adds up to over for me.
Breakfast for dinner or a late night meal is pretty good.

Tough, I can go without breakfast often but breakfast is also yummy and helps make the body go. If I think I'll have a big lunch, bye-bye breakfast. So conditional.
Over. Eating in the morning just spoils my appetite for lunch, but if I skip lunch I get super hungry long before dinnertime whether I had breakfast or not. Also, if I did eat in the morning, the pastries and sugary cereals that are treated as breakfast foods in America aren't what I'd want for a first meal. Eggs and bacon or breakfast sausage are good late at night, though.
In my experience, breakfast is over-rated, but - plot twist! - under-appreciated.
So many people say "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" but scarf it down in a hurry, even if they have plenty of time. Slow it down a little, maybe sit outside if it's nice, put "Lookin' Out My Back Door" by CCR on your mental jukebox.
If it's really an important meal, treat it like one!

There are few rituals I enjoy more than my daily coffee and bagel, especially on those very rare days that I manage to wake up before the baby does. Gonna have to go with under.
Similar to our last question:
Caffeine: Over or Under?
Crippling addiction or liberating brain hack?

I mean, I don't drink coffee (same some occasional ice caps) and though I sometimes drink cola, I rarely notice myself more or less alert. So over for me.

Overrated. I love coffee and like tea pretty well, but for the past few years that's in spite of the caffeine, not because of it. I mostly drink decaf for either.
Caffeine messes with my ADHD medications something fierce, and even if I'm not taking them, too much brewed coffee can make me feel kinda woozy, and/or have a nasty crash.
It can be useful as a drug for when I'm feeling sleepy. But when you get addicted, you need it to function, and lose that option to get a pick-me-up; it's just dragging you back up to baseline from the gutter.
Plus I know some people with ADHD find it helpful for concentration, though it only makes mine worse.

Over. Back when I was a young pup I drank Pepsi non-stop so I was continuously caffeinated, which meant I developed a huge tolerance and it had no discernible effect on me other than headaches if I stopped getting it.
At some point I decided I didn't want all those empty calories and stopped drinking soda, and a few months later I realized I'd lost my caffeine tolerance entirely, to the point where having a coffee drink after noon keeps me from sleeping properly. But it still doesn't really have useful effects, it just makes me jittery but not particularly alert. So now I just have to avoid it and drink decaf if available, it's kind of annoying that it limits my options when coffee or other tasty usually-caffeinated beverages are on offer.

Underrated. Better texture, better taste. Generally raised in more humane conditions than chicken or cows although that can vary, but the cost of good turkey is almost always less than chicken/beef, at least around here. Also turkey jerky and turkey bacon are fantastic, and when a recipe that uses ground beef doesn't require the fat of the beef I almost always substitute turkey.
Under, no contest that it’s the most delicious bird, and it’s easily near the top of the heap for Edible Animal in general.
I think that last point depends on the source. For example Bob Evans restaurant have amazing turkey breakfast sausage links.
