Given all of the research documenting that kids perform better in school after eating breakfast, it is hard for one to imagine why any school would not offer breakfast to its students. While most schools do currently offer hot and/or cold breakfast options, the majority of them face resistance from principals as well as teachers. Though breakfast service may only be a matter of minutes, it is an essential part of a student's day in order to focus and learn in a classroom setting.
A study was conducted where 87 foodservice professionals responded to questions about breakfast service at school. This study shows:
- What stands in the way of some schools offering breakfast service
- The difference in time given for breakfast service
- Kids' favorite breakfast foods-beyond sugar-filled cereals and doughnuts
