"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

You’ve heard that saying for years, but did you know it’s true? Research shows that eating breakfast helps kids grow up healthy and strong and do better in school.

A nutritious, well-balanced breakfast means kids won’t eat unhealthy snacks later in the day. They’ll concentrate better in class and go to the school nurse less frequently. Most importantly, they’ll start to develop the habit of eating a healthy breakfast—a habit that will help them throughout their lives.

Schools benefit from high rates of breakfast eating too: test scores will rise, behavior will improve and the community will thrive.
