My colleague who is a behavioral, developmental pediatrician actually recommends bacon & eggs for his patients with focus and ADD issues. Fat is necessary for good brain function....our brains are 60% fat! What a tough message that one is for the American public: fat is a necessary nutrient! Annie: Bravo for eggs and bacon!

"at the supermarket: no packaging"; go for a protein-based breakfast, and wait! how about carrot sticks on the side! whole foods are best. right on susan, and what ever happened to eggs, bacon, etcetera. sugar and starch-laced breakfasts just create that crash by noon. “at the supermarket: no packaging”; go for a protein-based breakfast, and wait! how about carrot sticks on the side! whole foods are best.

But, how did we ever get convinced that cold flakes or puffs in a box were beneficial for us? The history of Post & Kellogg cereals are a fun place to look for an answer to that question. Bottom line: boxed cereals are useless and seriously overpriced. All that packaging and processing sure isn't very "green" either. Save money and your health: buy steel cut or rolled oats from the bulk aisle, pop it in your crock pot or rice cooker overnight and wake up to hot porridge in the morning instead.
