Breakfast
By Lateef Oladeji
Breakfast is the first meal of the day taken in the morning. It varies in content and volume from culture to culture. In the "civilized" world, hardly will a breakfast rise up to its name without including some bread, egg, margarine/butter, tea/coffee and some 'pappy' cereals. In my own environment of Africa, while the educated and 'been-tos' toe the line of the civilized world, the greater majority of others can take anything that is readily available, and in any volume. To the latter category of people, anything goes as long as the stomach is filled up in readiness for the day's work. Experts have come to a consensus that breakfast is the most important of all daily meals. It provides the much needed energy to start a new day with, particularly in view of the fact that the meal interval between dinner/supper and breakfast is the longest. Therefore, starting a day's work without breakfast is like trying to start a car without fuel inside. This point is all the more appreciated when manual or tedious work is involved. Despite the obvious importance of breakfast to a better living, poverty or some certain stringent conditions have made some people go without it. In Nigeria, for instance, people have devised various 'formulae' as survival strategies. Some skip breakfast, eat big lunch and then skip dinner in a formula taggeed 0-1-0. Some luckier ones delay their breakfast to lunchtime or thereabout, calling it 'brunch', and thereafter also delay their dinner till near-bedtime, thus managing to attain an 0-1-1 upgrade. However, based on the researched importance of breakfast, any person that could afford 2 meals a day would do better adopting a 1-0-1 strategy whereby only the 'least important' lunch would be skipped. Nothing in the foregoing analysis suggests that everybody must adopt any rigid pattern of eating because of expert advice. Individuals vary. Indeed, there are quite a few people who thrive better without breakfast. Yet there are some whose most important meal of the day is lunch, and cares no hoot about other meals eventhough they have all the means to take them. Yet, it is advisable for the majority of humans not to skip breakfast so as to enjoy a healthier living. |
