Breakfast

[Georgiesmum]

What do you normally eat for breakfast?
Do you think its a sorry state of affairs that children sometimes go to school with no breakfast inside them ?

[jno]

not a lot, really. I wonder if breakfast shouldn't be the biggest meal of the day, as it has to keep you going for hours; but mine never has been.

[AuntLydia]

I struggle with Breakfast s I have no appetite. None of my 4 children have ever wanted Breakfast at 7.30 am but i always provided them with breakfast bars to eat at school break.

Porridge or bran flakes mostly.
Salmon and poached eggs at the weekend. (or a full English)

If I bother at home a couple of slices of toast. Don't usually have breakfast at work until 10am though.

[Georgiesmum]

In the Winter my children usually had Ready Brek or Weetabix before they went to school, , cold cereal usually in the Summer.

I've hardly ever eaten breakfast in my life. I tended to refuse it during my early school days and I never even considered getting up in time to eat breakfast during secondary school or at college. So it's never really been a habit I've got into.

I usually find it hard to eat much at all until around 3pm (even if I've been up since 4am and standing out in the cold since 6am to work on a traffic survey). The thought of food much before that time can often make me feel nauseous. (I'll occasionally have a light lunch though, especially if I'm out with friends). So one meal per day, or possibly one biggish one and one lighter one, is usually enough for me.

I do indeed, thanks to idle, lazy feckless parents who would rather spend their money on booze than feed and clothe their offspring.

I'm not a first thing in the morning break fast person.
I break my fast at around 2pm...otherwise it's coffee + cream.
I do remember being hungry for a morning meal as a child though.

[ChillDoubt]

Muesli with almond milk.

On the odd occasion I’ll have a round of whole meal toast with lime marmalade.

As for children I always encouraged mine to have a little something before school.

[Georgiesmum]

I have just started having 2 Weetabix in the mornings with hot milk

My kids usually have cereal though they aren't generally hungry in the mornings.
It's a sorry state of affairs if the children actually want breakfast but don't get given it by feckless parents.

Porridge. I don't think a lot of children either want any or have time for breakfast in a morning. Used to see a lot of them eating biscuits, crisps, sweets and fizzy drinks when I used the bus to go to work.

[andy-hughes]

I think its an absolute tragedy that some children don't get proper food at any time at home - and if I had my way, free school meals, including breakfast, would be offered to every child in the country.

I have a bowl of cereal and two cups of tea.

[pastafreak]

Oh stop making assumptions Jack. It's tiresome that people do that.

[AuntLydia]

You can't make a child eat Breakfast. Some kids have to be out of the house before 8am.

Who would finance this generosity?

I find that a good helping of Tibetan Peace Porridge keeps the pangs at bay.

[woofgang]

I don't remember primary school but I couldn't face anything to eat before I went to secondary school, just a hot drink. I agree that children going to school hungry is wrong.....but then equally wrong is the stream of children I see going into Tesco and buying 4 packs of red bull type energy drinks to take to school.

[douglas9401]

Tomorrow I have a late start so I might have skinless sausages, beans and a couple of leftover tatties, fried, some toast and loads of tea.

And a KitKat.

In my experience, any government can whistle up cash for a project it backs in the name of repeated votes - why not can HS2 and use that money, for a start.
