Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day - at
least according to a US primary
school teacher who was
disciplined for being late for work
more than 100 times in two years.
Arnold Anderson’s employer,
the Roosevelt Elementary School
in New Brunswick, New Jersey,
attempted to have him fired over
his tardiness.
However an arbitrator ruled
against the school, saying the
teacher should be allowed to
keep his job.
“I have a bad habit of eating
breakfast in the morning, and I
lost track of time,” the 46-year-old
told AAP, claiming he was never
more than two minutes late.
He has plenty of time on his
hands at the moment, though,
because despite the ruling he
remains suspended without pay
until 01 Jan next year.
When he returns to work in
2016 “I will be early,” he promised.
It ’s official - drinking lots of water
does not help prevent a hangover.
And eating late night snacks
after heavy drinking is also
useless, according to a new study
conducted by researchers from
the Netherlands and Canada.
The scientists surveyed over
1,500 students in both countries
and found that more than half
of them had tried fatty food and
even heavy breakfasts in order to
stave off a hangover.
And more than two thirds drank
water in the hope of lessening the
effects of their drinking sessions.
It appears that nothing they did
made a difference, with almost
all of the heavy drinkers suffering
hangovers on a regular basis.
The key finding overall was that
those who didn’t suffer the after
effects had “simply consumed
too little alcohol to develop a
hangover in the first place”.
