A Lawrence, Massachusetts research study conducted in 1987 compared achievement and testing scores of children following the introduction that year of the school breakfast program. Both tardiness and absences in the school were reduced considerably, while achievement scores increased. “With school breakfasts, kids worked faster, had fewer mistakes, provided more original answers on open-ended tests and had more physical energy, “ related Dere lian, a bubbly, enthusiastic disci ple of good nutrition. Current president of the American Dietetic Association, she is president of Health Professions Training, Fall brook, California, and has a doc torate from the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles. It is a fallacy that only kids from low-income families skip breakfast, Dr. Derelian empha sizes. The twin factors of not enough time in the morning and too many other competing activi ties create missed or low-nutrient breakfasts daily for millions of children from families at all socio enocomic levels. “Transient hunger” is how Derelian labels the problem, as opposed to the chronic malnour ished or undernourished child often seen in news reports of third world or warring countries.

Physical symptoms of skipped breakfasts include stomach pains and headaches, muscle tension, fatigue and sleepiness. Psycholog ical and social symptoms range from anxiety and nervousness to fidgeting, anger, indecisiveness, confusion and general unhappi ness. “A ‘brat’ in school may only be experiencing these symptoms of hunger,” Dr. Derelian warns. “Teachers have become good at detecting them.” Even children who do eat breakfast at home often experi ence the classic “mid-morning” slump, especially if proteins and fats are not included in the break fast. For that reason, Dr. Derelian encourages the use of whole milk for children’s breakfasts. Proteins and fats, both components of whole milk, take longer to get into the blood stream than do sugars and carbohydrates, such as might be found in cereals or toast. A promoter of school breakfast programs. Dr. Derelian noted that the cost, usually in the range of one dollar, is generally lower than grabbing breakfast for a child enroute to school at a fast food drive-through and supportive of family values because it encour ages good nutritional habits. School breakfasts, by law, must include servings from all the basic food groups.
