“The data revealed that 65.5 percent self identified they had eaten some type of breakfast. Of those that had eaten breakfast, 72.7 received a “C” or better on the test.” “During the course of the study 188 students made an “A” on the second exam, this includes 17.7% of the students who had eaten breakfast and 9.7% of those who had not eaten breakfast.” 


Following the premise of the American Dietetic Association (1996) that breakfast is when you eat, not what you eat, the administrator of the exam explained that breakfast could be a Pop Tart, a bowl of cereal, piece of cold pizza, piece of fruit, or a full blown traditional breakfast. It was further explained that a cup of coffee alone was not considered breakfast. 

The USDA study claimed that 92 percent of children ages 6-11 eat breakfast, while only 75-78 percent of adolescents ages 12-19 are reported as eating breakfast.

  1. Allie I think you should give your audience more options. Also I would make your questions more specific.

After giving feedback to my peers I realized that I could use some of the feedback myself.  For example, for both of my peers papers I told the to check the in-text citations.  After talking to Mr. Paudel I realized my in-text citations were also wrong.  The correct way for an in-text citation is (last name, year, p.) after realizing this I fixed my own paper.
