ARTICLE
Breakfast Around the World
People eat very different things in the morning. In Taiwan, many people buy a rice ball and a cup of warm milk on the way to work or school, because they are too busy to cook at home. In America, some families eat eggs and toast together, while many adults cannot start the day without coffee.
In France, a cup of coffee and a piece of bread are enough for many people. In Japan, rice, fish, and soup are still common, but more young people now choose bread because it takes less time.
Although the food is different, one thing is the same everywhere. Doctors say that people who eat breakfast can think better at school and at work. So whatever you like, do not leave home with an empty stomach.
