enough
breakfast
(source Italian National Center for Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion).
Studies have shown that children
who don’t eat a sufficient breakfast
before going to school achieve
lower results and suffer
consequences for their growth.
We distribute
balanced
breakfasts
and provide nutrition
education to students in
primary and secondary schools.
469
children, teachers and
parents received instruction
in the importance of eating
a good breakfast and a
healthy, balanced diet.
THEIR STORIES
We are Lorenzo B and Maia, and we would
like to tell you about a project that gives us
breakfast at school so we will feel strong
all day long. As soon as we get to school in
the morning, we go to the cafeteria. Each of
us brings a spoon and a glass or cup. We have
biscuits and a rusk with jam, and we drink a
glass of milk.
The project helps prepare us for the day,
so we won’t fall asleep in class and will be
able to pay attention, but it also gives us an
opportunity to talk together while enjoying our
healthy breakfast. I think the Breakfast Club
is a great idea, because it’s great to have a
healthy breakfast, and to eat it together.
