Why Breakfast Counts 
Two new studies show that people who eat more at breakfast eat less during the day and gain less weight than people who skip breakfast. A United Kingdom study that analyzed 6,764 people found that those who ate less than 11 percent of their total daily calories before lunch time gained almost two kilos over 4 years, while those who had 22 to 50 percent of their daily calories at breakfast gained about one kilo only. 

(Source: Adapted from Good Housekeeping. July 2008. p. 41.)

c) people who eat more calories at breakfast gain less weight over the years.
d) 22 to 50 percent of the people do not have breakfast.

Gastronauts 
Shrimp cocktail. Tortellini. Chocolate pudding cake! The International Space Station crew eats well, and soon they'lI have even more choices. In late 2008 Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata will blast off on Expedition 18 along with some delicacies devised by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for a test. His picks will later join the menu. Cooking space food is no small task - it must be shelf stable (no refrigerator up there), nutritious, and fit for zero gravity (salt and pepper are in liquid form as specks would float around). 
Food containers are fastened to trays. 
Astronauts sip liquids with a straw or dig into solids with forks and spoons. The new eats pose new issues. "For ramen," says Wakata, "I would definitely like to use chopsticks."

Our vision is a world without hunger and malnutrition - a world in which each and every person can be assured of having the food they need to be healthy and well-nourished. Our vision is a world which provides for and protects the welfare and human dignity of all its people. A world in which all children can grow, learn and flourish, developing into healthy, active, caring members of society. 
While many achievements have been made in alleviating hunger and malnutrition worldwide, we still fall very far short of having a world in which all people can be free from hunger. We see education and information on issues related to world hunger, food security and nutrition as key success factors for making this global vision a reality. Thus, we focus our efforts on the young and their teachers.

At home, the Japanese are on the verge of a war of the sexes. Half of women 25 to 29 are single, and 66 percent of all men in the same age group have yet to marry. Why don't they wed and have kids?
