Europeans More Conscious Breakfast

KOMPAS.com - breakfast has proven to be beneficial to the body, among others to add energy when on the move in the morning and prevents overeating intake during the day. Only, it is still very difficult to make breakfast a morning ritual in Indonesian family.

"Public awareness of the importance of breakfast Indonesia is still low. Because there was an assumption that breakfast take long and troublesome," said Michael Hartono, Director of Communications and Marketing McDonald's Indonesia, told Compass Female, some time ago.

Is it true that breakfast is really time-consuming work you? In fact, according to Michael, the population in developed countries such as the countries in Europe and America did not ever skip breakfast. They have a habit of waking up early and enjoy breakfast at their favorite restaurant.

Furthermore, he added, rather than having to skip breakfast, the Europeans prefer to wrap food and eat it in the car or while walking to the office.

The high awareness for breakfast was also facilitated by the availability of practical food for breakfast. "They belong to the practical and not picky. With instant foods such as
cereal and milk, pancakes and milk, boiled eggs, fruit slices, until the burgers, they can be eaten as breakfast everyday," he added.

Types of food are certainly very different from the criteria type of breakfast in Indonesia. The phrase "do not eat if you do not eat rice" seemed to describe the Indonesian food at breakfast was sought was heavy foods such as fried rice, uduk rice, fried noodles, chicken porridge, and others.

In fact, in principle, breakfast is the "breaking of the fast" after a night's sleep and fill it with good nutritious food. Good nutrition is not only found in big meal like rice. Some instant foods such as milk and cereals, chicken porridge, and others also contain carbohydrates, protein, and fiber are sufficient to meet the activity of the morning until noon.

"Hassle factor made meals and eat old people is what makes Indonesia so more often not breakfast. Wish we could be more practical, no person may intentionally skip breakfast," he said.
