Mobile First Why should this apply to large screens only when using the mobile first approach?

I thought the mobile first approach started with smaller screens...

To keep the site responsive you want to start mobile first. After you use media queries or break points for larger view ports. If you write good CSS you should not have to use too many break points. Hope this helps.

The mobile approach has already been handled. If you shrink your window to less than 789px then you will see it is laid out appropriately. If on a larger screen, two columns work better than having everything in one straight column like the mobile view.
