Going to School Hungry- How Important is Breakfast?

                                               Breakfast  is the most important meal of the day.  Breakfast      jump starts our  metabolism from an over night fast and it replenishes  our glucose supply.  It helps those of us who need to loose a few pounds or have diabetes.  When we skip breakfast  we're really putting our body into starvation  mode.  We live in a society where you wouldn't think of children  going to school hungry. We have grants and programs where breakfast is served to thousands of children each day.  Yet, we still have children going without breakfast which effects a there
               classroom performance.

  1. I agree! Breakfast is extremely important! Even being in college, I realize that it's imprtant to eat before coming to class. It helps me stay focused, I can definitely see the difference when I don't eat breakfast before coming to class!

  2. Perhaps this is why some schools offer breakfast to every student, to make sure everyone gets something to eat and no one is singled out as "poor"?
