During the morning prior to starting work people tend to eat foods bought from some fast-food service or bring in there food from home. Well this is not always the case since most adults are pushing towards being healthier now a days. If people get fast-food for breakfast then they will end up gaining weight. Being a food consuier, I love food and have put myself in this position until the healthy lifestyle grabbed me by the stomach. To understand this more I conducted a basic research, asking 10 random people at work what type of breakfast do they prefer. Along with this I went to check on people to see if they were still energetic or slightly lethargic.

During a two day study I have asked and recorded information from 10 random people on “What type of breakfast do they prefer”. I decided to do this experiment in our work break room where everyone goes to eat all their meals. On Tuesday 6/17/2015 I was able to interview six co-workers that morning just before work started. Since I normally eat my breakfast with my wife at home before work I brought my in to eat along with the interviews. Knowing that everyone that comes in here usually on has about 20 minutes to eat and start work I could only talk to 6 people. The first and second people I talked to were John and Kari, both sitting at the same table. John (black male) is around 45 years old as Kari (white female) is about 22. Asking them both the question, john replies the same one for the last 23 years, oatmeal and strawberries. Kari replied well today it’s a pair of doughnuts, but, I prefer a breakfast sandwich (fast-food). Next table had the 3rd 4th and 5th people sitting at it so I joined them and asked the same question. At the table where Sharon, Lisa and phil. Sharon about 37 (white female) looked at me and smiled saying boiled eggs and bacon. Lisa about 25 (white female) never looked up just keep reading her magazine and said I like pancakes with honey and peaches. Phil about 50 (white male) just opens his bag and says cinnamon rolls, yes rolls he had 2, and a bottle of V8 juice. The sixth person was Chen about 19 (Asian male) was enjoying his breakfast of fried chicken and coleslaw. That was very different then he tells me he prefers pizza, but, he had chicken last night so this is breakfast.

The next day on Wednesday 6/18/2015, I conducted the final study with 7-10 in the same break-room at work, same time 20 minutes prior to the start of work. The 7th person was Max about 30 (Hispanic male) he said he likes to eat cereal, but, had no milk today so he had an energy bar. Caroline about 45 (black female) was slowly drinking one of those protein shakes she had made prior to leaving work. She said she loves to have oatmeal and raisins, but, was running behind. The 8th person was Richard about 35 (white male) he says he eats cereal every day and has a glass of juice. The 9th person was DeShawn about 22 (black male) I love shrimp and grits with toast. The 10th and finally person was Yolanda about 35 (black female) “fruit, fruit, fruit.” Was her reply, she cuts fresh fruit and has it every morning along with a glass of milk.
