Researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia surveyed more than 350 students in the city about what they ate for breakfast that day. About 20-percent did not eat anything in the morning, and about a quarter had two or more breakfasts!  More than half had just one breakfast, and of those kids, most ate cereal with milk or yogurt and cheese. About 18-percent of kids said they bought food at a store on the way to school, and many of those kids grabbing candy, chips and soda.
