"The study revealed that children who were obese were about twice as likely not to eat breakfast as children of normal weight. Researchers also found those with unemployed parents were almost three times as likely to go without breakfast as those whose mothers and fathers were both working."Researchers speculated on reasons for the connection between breakfast and obesity, citing - among other possible factors - the likelihood that someone who skips breakfast will snack more and eat more sugary foods than someone who doesn't. They also theorized that the parents of children who skip breakfast may be less attentive to nutritional issues in general, and therefore may be more likely to provide less healthy food.
