2. What’s your opinion for having delicious and healthy breakfast?

Sometimes a simple breakfast with fruit and nuts can be the most delicious and healthy.  But I usually eat some kind of bread, too.

3. Are the tableware around the world different?

Coach Jeff:

Interesting question! I think the biggest difference is that people use chopsticks in Asia. Of course, in a lot of places, people just use their hands to eat some kinds of food!

11. Why do people in the polar regions always eat meat but not vegetables?

Coach Jeff:

Because it’s so cold there, they can’t really grow vegetables. But they still get all of the nutrition that they need!

14. How do you think about traditional Taiwanese breakfast? Do you want to try it?

Coach Jeff:

Some traditional Taiwanese breakfast foods seem strange to me, like “Xi fan (稀飯).” Rice for breakfast? Really?

15. It’s interesting to me that people eat dessert for breakfast.
If breakfast is supposed to be healthy, why do they eat dessert?
What’s the purpose of eating food that includes a lot of sugar for breakfast (like pancake)?

Coach Jeff:

Excellent question. Sugar is a way to give your body energy quickly. I think many people want “quick energy” in the morning, but I’m not sure!

16. Some people said having breakfast in the morning makes you feel sleepy easily, but some said having breakfast gives you more energy.
What do you think about it? Does it make you feel sleepy or give you energy?

That’s a hard question. I think a small breakfast gives me energy, but a large breakfast might make me feel a little sleepy.
