What makes a healthy and unhealthy breakfast?
(if you've seen it before, sorry, I put it originally with a 'news ' item and then thought it might get missed down there so made a new thread)

This is from the World diabetes day material.
I don't expect that everyone would agree with everything that's in the healthy options though I've no doubt that most of us could make a breakfast from it.
One of the things they point out is that missing breakfast is associated with weight gain and that also a healthy meals can be far more expensive than eating nutrient poor, energy processed foods like those often served for breakfast.
I suspect that if you looked at most breakfast tables in the UK and elsewhere they would mostly contain foods from the unhealthy list.

How are some of these modern breakfast cereals made? What's actually in them? How they have changed from there original basis (ie what Mr Kellogg invented) Long article!
One bit of Trivia that I found amusing but shocking at the same time
According to the article the vitamin D added to foods is a by product of wool processing in China (using sheepskins that have travelled all the way from Australia!
