Yea this mite be my fav from the album so far that ive heard! and i think i understand the basic message of it all to =)
"This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast
Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes."
There commenting on the music industry putting out stuff that was made to quickly for the convenience of the listeners. Albarn was quotes as saying "I suppose what I've done with this Gorillaz record is I've tried to connect pop sensibility with ... trying to make people understand the essential melancholy of buying a ready made meal in loads of plastic packaging"
emphasis on how he compared it to a 'ready made meal', thats why they made a brekfast reference, i think there saying something about how all this work goes into the cd and its all superfast convenience to the listeners OR something about 'rushed' music that lacks a soul because it was made to fast.
"Look, it comes with a toy, haha I like that"
'TOY' is a term in hiphop (more popular known in graffiti culture) that refers to someone whos a noob to the culture and doesnt know what there doin or just puts out real stupid stuff.
"I wanna number 4, a number 6, and throw in a plastic doughnut
Just enjoy the gritty crunch, it tastes just like chicken."
I think the first part of this has an ungreatful attitude, like ppl just demand the music and its all plastic sealed ready for them and maybe there not greatful enough for the art they just purchased. 'it tastes just LIKE chicken' but it isnt chicken, its something generic thats not the real deal. Wich leads back to the theory that there insulting ppl who rush there music and end up coming up with dumb stuff.
"All mixed in the pot for momma's homemade from scratch, well, not quite."
I think there commenting on ppl who claim to be completely original, just like a moms homemade recipe, but there lieing ("well, not quite") so there saying theres ppl out there who are pretending to be original while ripping off others stuff
"With the crunchy, crunchy carrots (that's chicken)
Gotta have it Superfast! "
Notice this time there not saying it tastes LIKE chicken, there saying thats chicken. period. Like its the real deal, maybe this is around the part where there saying something about themselfs bein the real deal. But everyone wants it 'super fast' like the fake stuff, but they dont understand the only reason the other stuff came out so fast is cuz it was wack!
"Superfast Superfast, I come in last, but just in time for breakfast"
when you do your music 'super fast' it comes in last cuz it sucks, but its just in time for when everyone wants it so there happy.
I think the basic stuff is clear, it has a vary sarcastic funny layed back mood i love it! The song just rides you like a wave. <3

So, obviously a super late reply. But, Damon explained that the album 'The Fall' was written and recorded while on the Escape to Plastic Beach Tour. A year isn't an insanely short amount of time to consider it rushed. But he explains it was a sort of music diary of his time on tour. So even if it's considered "rushed" it's rushed in a different way. OPs point is that a lot of music today os rushed out for consumer enjoyment, there's no soul or care put into it. Whereas The Fall was only "rushed" because it was a...

Whereas The Fall was only "rushed" because it was a music diary of Albarns trip through America. It was meant to be experimental and not have any full on production behind it. He released it early because he didn't want people believing it was artificial and tampered with a bunch.
tl;dr: Damon wrote it on tour in america as a diary about his tour through america. it was meant to be experimental and have no production behind it other than Damons ipad and a few instruments they had to fit Albarns artistic vision. It was written and recorded on tour.

Wow, you're so smart!!

I disagree. Why would they release their next album (The Fall) a later after Plastic Beach? Pretty rushed if you ask me.

I just noticed you commented on this song the day before Plastic Beach was even released. You clearly haven't had enough time to ponder on it.
