In the rush to get to school or work on time, breakfast is often skipped: a bad move, since it's the most important meal of the day, jumpstarting the body's energy levels for the physical and mental tasks ahead. Humorous vignettes illustrating why you should eat a healthy breakfast are presented in this energetic, creative program, which also touches on practical considerations such as how to interpret nutrition labels or choose wisely during a fast food drive-thru. Viewers will discover how, depending on one's choices, breakfast can have a good or bad effect on the body (including a rather funny depiction of a blood sugar crash), while also learning about options for easy and nutritious morning meal picks. Although geared more towards those who prepare their own breakfasts, Breakfast Because! is also a good choice for helping younger kids understand why mom is giving them oatmeal instead of a sugar bomb bowl of cereal. Highly recommended. Aud: I, J, H, P. (E. Gieschen)
