Recent studies show that the belief that breakfast is necessary is just that – a belief. Children have been tested using short-term memory tests – and hungry children have per- formed just as well as full ones. What matters is whether you feel the need for breakfast or not. “If you don’t feel like it,” says Professor Bender, a nutritionist, “don’t bother eating it.” There are, however, some more facts you should consider. Breakfast certainly is a ritual that can get you started for the day. So why not enjoy it? Furthermore, it can help you to keep the right diet. If you have cereals for breakfast, your intake of fat during the rest of the day will be much lower. By the way, cereals are becoming more and more popular these days.

(Adapted from “The Observer”) Over 50% of English people these days still eat the world-famous English breakfast: bacon and eggs, and possibly also sausages and tomatoes. Now that most families have microwave ovens, cooked breakfasts are becoming more and more popular. Fewer and fewer Englishmen and – above all – Englishwomen have the time to prepare the traditional British breakfast, of which the writer Somerset Maugham once said that it was so good that it should be eaten four times a day. Scientists who have been studying eating habits in Britain have found out that the best way to start the day is with a classic English breakfast. They have warned parents against sending their children to school on an empty stomach.
