Agree - After all, breakfast is the lowest attended meal of all. And
is for most cultures the lightest, so it should not be too expensive
for each of us to buy milk+cereal or similar. FWIW, it was also done
so in Edinburgh (and I loved Scottish cereals :) )

Well... For some of us, it would really hurt to pay first-world
prices. But if we have kitchens available, we could probably organize
fun cooking sessions (with predictably uneven results, but still)...
For the small fees - In Cáceres this was done, we sold food tickets to
non-sponsored people, and while it meant a high load for people
manning the front desk, it is completely doable.
