Day 7 – It’s Time for Breakfast!

You made it safely to your hotel and feel fast asleep. You’ve now woken up and are ready to start your day. Before you start, however, you need to eat some breakfast. Imagine that you and your whanau have walked out of the hotel and into a restaurant across the street. At the restaurant you are offered a traditional breakfast meal. Scroll through the examples below to see a picture of what is commonly eaten in your country for breakfast.

Activity 1

Compare the picture of common breakfast foods in the country you’ve chosen with what you typically eat for breakfast here in New Zealand. I usually have a bowl of sultana bran cereal with trim milk and a cup of tea. What about you? On your blog, please tell us:

1. What you eat for breakfast?
2. What people in your chosen country eat for breakfast
3. Which of the two breakfast options (your breakfast or the breakfast in the other country) you prefer. Why do you prefer it?

ANSWERS

1. I normally eat cereal or toast and milo.

2. People in Canada eat pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast

3. I would prefer eating pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast because it is delicious and who wouldn’t want pancakes for breakfast.

Activity 2

Some of the most famous foods to come out of New Zealand include kiwifruit, lamb, whitebait, oysters, tuatua (shellfish), kumara, bacon and egg pie, hokey pokey ice cream, lolly cake, anzac biscuits and pavlova. Take a picture of you (or someone you know!) eating one of these famous ‘kiwi’ foods. Post the picture to your blog. Underneath the picture tell us what they are eating.

Bonus Activity

According to numerous researchers and fitness experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They argue that people who eat breakfast will have more energy, be in a better mood, be able to think more clearly, do better at school and end up healthier than people who don’t eat breakfast.

Interestingly, not everyone agrees. In fact, some people believe that breakfast is not the most important meal of the day because people often eat too much food at breakfast time, gain weight and become unhealthy. They think that it is better to skip breakfast and eat a number of small meals later in the day.

After reading the arguments presented above, what do you think? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Why or why not?

I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it wakes you up and it gives you energy in the morning for school and it also helps your brain to work. It is also a important meal because if you miss it then your body and brain will feel more tired and you might feel moody because you're hungry and your body and brain doesn't have enough energy you also won’t be focused on your work properly. When it is lunch time you will eat more and you will become more unhealthy.
