Between Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, Breakfast is the Winner Every morning when I wake up, I am not thinking about a plate of pancakes hot off the griddle or a freshly poured bowl of cereal, but rather I am striving to squeeze in every last minute of sleep I can get. With this being the case, I almost never eat breakfast. The question on whether breakfast is important to the human health has been pondered over the years. From a young age, we are always told that you must eat breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day. However, not everyone believes breakfast has this importance in living a healthy lifestyle. In an article written by John L. Ivy, PhD of the University of Texas at Austin titled “Why is Breakfast the Most Important Meal of the Day,” Ivy goes on to answer this puzzling question and explains in depth exactly what the title suggests: why breakfast is the most important meal of the day. By introducing his expertise on the topic and providing an ample amount of scientific evidence, research, and definitions pulled from multiple different sources, Ivy effectively organizes his article to inform the reader that breakfast is essential in living a healthy lifestyle. From the text, it can be inferred that the author is a credible source and has acquired an extensive amount of knowledge on the importance of breakfast in living out a healthy lifestyle through his research. In the article’s second paragraph, Ivy defines his theory of “nutrient timing.”
Pathos, logos, and ethos are used throughout In Defense of Food to strength arguments on eating more healthy.

Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto is an eye-opening analysis of the American food industry and the fear driven relationship many of us have with food. He talks in depth about all the little scientific studies, misconceptions and confusions that have gathered over the past fifty years. In the end provide us with a piece of advice that should be obvious but somehow is not, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." He follows the history of nutritionism and the industrialization of food, in hopes to answer one question….. how and when "mom" ceded control of our food choices to nutritionists, food marketers and the government.
Back in the day almost everyone viewed woman to be the person who cleans, cooks, has children, and obeys her husband. Even woman themselves had this view hammered into their minds at such a young age, the views that women are inferior to men. This stigma of woman can be found traced throughout Virginia Woolf’s essay of two meals, a meal for men and a meal for women at a college. She uses numerous composition techniques and effectively disperses them throughout her narrative. By doing so, she accurately demonstrates her views on society’s stigma of a woman's role in an eloquent manner.
During my three-day food intake I learned about myself. There are many benefits of good nutrition. ”Medical Online” states “besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and all its system to function optimally for a lifetime.” A healthy diet promotes good sleep, gives the body what it needs to stay healthy, and provides energy.

"The fast-food industry now stands alone atop a massive food-industrial complex which has gained control of American agriculture," writes Schlosser.

As scholars are constantly reminded to eat a healthy portion of breakfast before testing, most scholars find themselves wondering, “Would eating breakfast really improve my performance?” According to many psychologists, consuming breakfast may have benefits in performance, but to an extent.

Nonetheless, scholars who eat a healthy breakfast seem to have higher energy levels and ability than those who did not because of the nutrients consumed and absorbed by the body and mind. Consuming breakfasts would have beneficial effects on learning, to an extent; however, the different types of breakfasts could also have detrimental effects as well. The goal of this research is to determine not if breakfasts improve academic performance, but by how much? In addition, to the fact that there are possible “side effects” to this method of improvement, which leads to ask, are all breakfasts healthy? Scholars eating breakfast in order to improve performance may be possible for academic performance. However, if scholars believe and reason over the fact that eating breakfast does improve academic performance, then the effects of school behavior would be tested.
