Mindy Hermann, MBA, RD

Mom sure was right about the importance of eating breakfast, as I learned in preparing for last week’s media briefing to my colleagues at the American Dietetic Association Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo. What surprised me most was the world-wide agreement on how much breakfast matters, particularly related to body weight in children.
