Children not getting breakfast

[robvalue]

Maybe a light breakfast for such kids would be a compromise? Something with slow release energy maybe.

Na. We only feed them based on their BMI.

Wonder how many teachers/adults/kids in the study would have been classified as obese?

Oh, he's 22 and safely out of the nest. I'm guessing he no longer has to endure eggs, toast, oatmeal, bacon/sausage, fruit, and a small vat of OJ these days, unless he wants to.

So I overdid it, but I'm not really sorry about it. Despite my gorging him each morning like I was fattening him for the slaughter, he was (and remains) rail-thin. The kid has the metabolism of a fucking humming bird.

I don't understand people who skip breakfast, even as kids. The first thing on my mind when I wake up is food.

I am like many others here. Can't eat anything solid after I awake. Strong coffee is enough.

Yeah, I find it hard to imagine! I can't wait to gulp down my cereal.

That's me. Wake up and stagger to the kitchen, scratching me bollocks all the way to the coffee maker.

Maybe 1 in 7 kids are scared to use the bathroom during class because the teacher might yell at them for interrupting their class. Hence they don't eat before school. Its the teachers fault not the parents or kids.

I've noticed that on some breakfast cereal boxes, there is a "breakfast club" which provides breakfast for children at school. It claims that 1 in 7 children in England are coming to school without having had breakfast.

Now, it's great that something is being done to feed these poor kids. But what the hell is going on? Surely feeding your children is the number one priority. I do understand that some people will be so financially crippled that things like this can happen, but can that really account for 1 in 7?

You get an awful lot of child benefit in England. Not just child benefit, but loads of other financial assistance, tax credits and so on. If this isn't being spent on food, where is it going?

Am I naive in thinking this is awful parenting? Does poverty really strike this hard?

Yes yes it does here in the U.S. were slowly becoming a third world country because there is areas on the U.S. that has it worse than flint Michigan.
The deregulation of consumer protection and water has went through and well Obama care is going to get repelled. And yeah thanks to Hillary and her Husband
a lot of people lost their jobs and well around  that time it was a issue and well our schools even before than already gave out free breakfast.

Lazy parents. You mean to tell me that you can't boil some eggs for your kids for the week on a Sunday? Or fry some eggs that morning? You can't pop some wheat bread in the toaster and peel a grapefruit or an orange?

Laziness.
