They say it's important to eat breakfast every day. But what if you eat two breakfasts?
According to a new study, students who eat two breakfasts -- one at home and one at school -- are less likely to experience unhealthy weight gain than students who skip the meal altogether.
This hour, we take a closer look at that finding with some local food and nutrition specialists. We also hear from a state that’s leading the nation in school breakfast participation.
And later: Food labor expert Saru Jayaraman tells us about her fight against American tipping culture and the sub-minimum wage.
