It has been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
In today's fast paced world, the demand of their
daily schedule prevent many people from putting serious thought into their
breakfast. However, there is a food source that meets these demands.
Indeed, donuts are the best breakfast as manifested
by their efficiency, their ability to hit the spot and their
affordability. First, donuts are the best breakfast because they are efficient. Many people start their day in a hurry. A recent survey showed that over 60% of high school students skip breakfast due to lack of time. Because of their efficiency, donuts provide a solution to their breakfast problem. In addition, most people, that are on the run, will simply skip other breakfast opportunities because of their morning time factor. Once again, donuts supply an efficient answer to this dilemma. Therefore, the efficiency of donuts proves their superiority over other breakfast foods |
