Waaaaaaaaaay more.
Like, we’re talking 31 Million Americans.
That’s a lot of people when everyone is told, often, and seriously, that breakfast is important.
A recent survey by the NPD Group found that 31 million Americans, about 10 percent of the U.S. population, do not eat breakfast.
The Morning MealScape 2011 study surveyed 27,179 Americans from January 10 through March 7, 2011. The results indicated that males ages 18-34 are most likely to skip breakfast (28 percent) and females ages 55 and older were the most likely to eat a morning meal; only 10 percent reported skipping breakfast. Among children, skipping breakfast correlates with age — teenagers are more likely to not eat breakfast than younger children.
So why the hell do they do it?
Well, “they’re not hungry” or “they were too busy” or “didn’t feel like eating.”
All of those fit firmly under “bullshizz reasons” and they know it.
It’s important for a reason. Do it.
Do U skip breakfast??
