I thought this article from SKNVibes was interesting, suggesting that skipping breakfast in favor of frequent snacking is not only bad for your body, it’s also bad for the planet. If you find yourself skipping breakfast at home because you don’t think you have the time to stop and take care of yourself in the morning, consider this: The snacks you might purchase to fill up the hole left in your belly from your lack of breakfast often create needless waste. From fast food containers to plastic wrap to (ghastly) Styrofoam packaging, eating on the go creates more waste than when we take the few extra minutes to have something nutritious at home. Not only do we create more waste, but the crumbs that we leave when we eat on the run can attract rodents or breed bacteria that can cause other kinds of environmental (and unsightly) problems.

So think about it next time you’re rushing out of the house thinking that you’ll grab coffee and a donut…slow down and enjoy your time at home, and do something good for yourself and everyone else!
