“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.

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.
