Breakfast Pains

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many people have trouble enjoying it. In the early hours of the morning, multiple people experience pains in their stomachs after breakfast. Like all sensible people do when they have a problem, someone who experiences these cramps may look it up on Google, which leads him to Yahoo! Answers and other websites. Some of the answers read that it’s something in his diet or that it’s entirely his fault, but how is it when there are so many people with the same problem?

An informal poll taken at Sterling High School states that two thirds of students don’t eat breakfast.  A majority says it’s too early to eat anything, and the reasons are split between the risk of stomach aches and not having enough time in the morning before school. Natasha Wolfhope, a high school senior, says that she can’t eat breakfast before 8 A.M. because her “stomach is not awake.” School starts at 7:55 A.M. every day, which would mean that most students get up around 6 A.M., and some even earlier, but it’s not just for school. Many adults get up early to get to work on time, according to the University of Florida [link], and the majority of askers on Yahoo! Answers that ask about the stomach pains is made up of confused young adults.

It’s a necessity to eat breakfast in the morning to maintain a healthy diet, but it’s skipped all the time because there is no time, eating it causes stomach aches, or a combination of both. Time plays a big part, for many people feel like there’s a limit to how early someone can eat his breakfast. Wolfhope says, “I don’t know how people can go to the airport at six in the morning and eat breakfast.”
