barbiesacol88 @barbiesacol88 (202) • Philippines 26 Jul 12

oldchem1 I have to disagree and say that in my opinion (as is the opinion of most health agencies) eating a good breakfast is VERY important for our health. There is an old saying in the UK "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper"...
