    Whoa! I skimmed the article (looked at the picture ....OMG). If I started the day off with a big piece of chocolate cake, it would be sugar, sugar, sugar, all day long. Typically, I do leave room for sugar but I "save" it for the end of the day.

    "Good news for the kid in you: Not only can you eat cake for breakfast, doing so may actually help you keep weight off, a new study suggests"

    Then later in the story...

    "While the study shows the benefits of a big breakfast, it cannot answer the question of whether eating cake in the morning is a good idea, Tallmadge said."

    I think this story is like most others.. misinterpreted data, junk science, and no real answers.

    Yummm! I've actually heard of this. Giving in at the beginning of your day allows you time to burn off those excess calories. Although, not with a huge slice! Plus you don't feel deprived of goodies all day!

    Why not get the best of both worlds... eat a Chocolate Vita Muffin for breakfast along with yogurt or fruit?! I recently "rediscovered" the Vita Muffins and OMGoodness- they are a slice of heaven, chcolate heaven that's for sure! Yum Yum!! They have other flavors but I am stuck on the chocolate right now!

    I would end up binging allllll day if I ate cake for breakfast. I can handle a muffin (healthy homemade) or maybe some oatmeal with brown sugar, or that special k with chocolate. But a big slice of chocolate cake! oooh noo!

    PS>>>>> plus that would mean the rest of the cake was in my kitchen...... BIG OH NOOO!!!!

    I was coming in to say this! My grampy used to make chocolate cake & let us eat it for breakfast with saturday morning cartoons.
    He still makes it the same way & we still have to do the stupid dance while we sing that song before we can have a slice.
