Following along with the breakfast topic, a study was done in Jamaica which involved two types of students. 407 students who were giving a breakfast every day and 407 students who were giving a quarter of an orange every day in place of a breakfast. After obsevring the two groups after 1 year with weight, height, attendance, and grades being the critereia for study, it became obvious that a nutritious breakfast has an advantage in all above categories. Two surprising categories are that the arithmatic scores in the breakfast group were improved as well as attendance. Half of educaion is showing up, perhaps a breakfast not only results in an increased ability, but also provides and incentive for students to attend school and recieve valuable intruction.
