To my fellow Americans,
I
propose to you… National Breakfast Day, a whole day where all the foods eaten
are only breakfast items. Pancakes,
waffles, cereal, eggs, fruit, yogurt; every meal is dedicated to the delectable
foods we eat in the morning. I want
people to know how important breakfast is, that it’s the most important meal of
the day. I just want to emphasize the
greatness of breakfast and the impact it can have on a person. After all, a big, hearty breakfast is the key
to a great day. Scheduled right before
the school year, this holiday would happen annually. This holiday is to let students and even
adults know the importance of having a breakfast before starting their
day. In 2011, it was reported that a whopping
31 million Americans skip breakfast every day and I’m proposing this holiday to
decrease that number. A common excuse
for skipping breakfast is the little time people have in the mornings, but if
people knew all the health benefits of eating a hearty breakfast, they would
surely find time in their schedule. A
nice healthy breakfast has the benefits of energizing people and getting them
ready for the day, supplying many nutrients, and increase brain activity in
people. And, if that isn’t enough to
convince people, maybe hearing the health risks from not eating breakfast will
persuade them. By not eating breakfast,
people have no energy and are less productive; it can also bring health risks
such as obesity in children, and can bring increased heart rate, body mass
index, and a chance for diabetes. Though
the need for everyone to eat breakfast is important, it is especially important
for young children and teens to be eating breakfast. No doubt children are growing and I know that
we wouldn’t want to impair their growth because they don’t eat breakfast, so
why not show them how important it is.
This proposal isn’t asking for much, just to glorify the importance of
breakfast and the foods it comes with.
Hopefully, if National Breakfast Day is enacted, it will live on to keep
people healthy and teach the importance of breakfast.
Your
fellow American,
William
Shakespeare
