What do kids eat for breakfast where you live?

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. According to this source, a healthy breakfast should contain some protein (meat, eggs, beans, or soy like tofu) and some fiber (that can be found in whole cereals, grains or in fruits).

Yet for the past two years my children have been drinking chocolate milk and nibbling on bread for breakfast. On good days they will also have a fruit, a banana or orange, but they're usually not very hungry in the morning. Apparently, it's not just my kids. Most French kindergarten and elementary schools have decided to maintain a snack time around 10am every day to compensate for poor breakfast habits.

I remember when I was young and visiting my family in South Korea I would have a copious meal every morning. And though things have changed a bit in the last 20 years, a lot of Korean kids still have rice, meat or fish, vegetables and a soup for breakfast.

Which makes me wonder, even if milk and cereals seem to be quite universal among kids, what do your children eat for breakfast where you live?
