Responsible Parenting Advice
There are so many websites and blogs out there offering advice on everything, most based on opinions or experiences. You'd think that it'd be safe to take advice based on scientific research. How wrong I was. This morning, I read that "Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day" on a site reporting scientific findings (I won't even mention their name to promote them). It was a bait-and-switch title the best, irresponsible reporting the worst. How can a research showing no weight or resting metabolic change on 38 fasting individuals lead to that conclusion??? No scientific explanation was offered. I know it's hard to get attention when there are so many competing websites out there, but you're a reporter. What happened to responsible and ethical reporting? Don't you dare tell my kid that she doesn't need to eat breakfast because it's not the most important meal of the day. It still is as long as no credible research to contradict it.
