It’s National School Breakfast Week, a campaign to increase student participation in school breakfast programs! Here at Lifeway, we can’t think of a better way to start the day than with a healthy and hearty breakfast. We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – and it truly is. Eating breakfast is linked to increased energy, improved concentration, a healthier weight, and better grades. Unfortunately, 8-12% of school age students skip breakfast, increasing to as much as 30% once they reach adolescence.

Why You Should Eat Those Ugly Fruits and Veggies
The average American throws away 36 pounds of food a month, according to the USDA. That’s enough to fill the 90,000-seat Rose Bowl stadium with foods – much of it perfectly good, nutritious stuff.
