Coincidentally, all parents had a message from school last year to ask that we all send our kids to school with a good breakfast inside them. I wonder what was behind that?
Yes. They were concerned that some children were not getting enough to eat for breakfast or maybe even none. I believe it was because, as they saw it, some kids were flagging at school and suspected that some were not having a good breakfast before school each day. I hasten to add not our kid.Any hints to what they were thinking?
Or is this the work of the devil?

I keep an open mind on this.
That is probably not far from it. But I must say our little one was having a similar breakfast and was not crashing out, as I checked that out with the teacher.I’d say that rather than missing breakfast, it’s more likely that many kids are having a massive bowl of glucose in the morning, washed down with a massive glass of glucose and fructose, and are then crashing two hours later.
After their overnight fast, young children should be having a coffee with cream to keep them going until the school provides a steak and green vegetable lunch. Meanwhile in the real world.......
I wasn't a manual worker as such, but I used to manage heaving armfuls and trolley loads of bound scientific publications and reshelving them, often needing to climb up and down stepladders to do so, and in the last few years before I retired (wo)man handling PCs and printers and crawling around under desks. And all before I ever needed to "break my fast". It was including full fat food in my diet wot dunnit m'ud.So if you happen to be a manual worker, doing physical work throughout the day, what then? Should he or she skip breakfast?
I was thinking of manual workers for 12 hours a day almost continuously with only a half hour break for lunch and a couple of quick breaks either side. Like a 12 hour gymnasium session every day, if you will. In my industry this has been a typical days work for some workers and a big breakfast wasI wasn't a manual worker as such, but I used to manage heaving armfuls and trolley loads of bound scientific publications and reshelving them, often needing to climb up and down stepladders to do so, and in the last few years before I retired (wo)man handling PCs and printers and crawling around under desks.

And regarding school and breakfasts, we used to get fed full fat milk at mid morning break - and this usually used to be my breakfast. For most of my school years sweets were rationed, so we had to eat real food instead.
