"New research reveals that UK kids are skipping breakfast because of boredom caused by the same foods and because parents don't have the time.
The nation is suffering from a serious case of breakfast blues as research from restaurant chains, Brewers Fayre and Table Table, has revealed that more than a third of children in the UK are skipping the most important meal of the day, breakfast." read more . . .

It was not until my twenties that I learned to eat vegetables. It's really good for everyone;)
Here's an excerpt of ChildUp's parenting articles about getting your child to eat veggies.
