You Should Start Each Day with a Huge Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, according to health experts, trainers, and your entire pre-K through 12th grade education. And yet, many Americans still focus all their hunting and gathering energy on dinner. Maybe this latest study on breakfast and BMI will convince us.
Researchers found that when participants ate their biggest meal of the day early on, they were more likely to have a lower BMI than those who ate their biggest meal at lunch or dinner. Regularly eating breakfast was also correlated with being able to manage weight better, as opposed to skipping breakfast. The participants with the lowest BMIs skipped dinner all together, meaning they fasted for at least 18 hours after lunch.

🗞London Kicks Out Uber
In London, England, Uber lost its license to operate after the government said that Uber did not complete background checks on its drivers, and the government had concerns about the reporting of serious crimes. Losing Uber will affect 40,000 drivers and 3.5 million customers in the city.
Uber will challenge the ruling in courts as it has 21 days to appeal. The service can keep going during this process.
A government office also said that Uber was not a good company, and people criticised it for unlawfully kicking out other companies that drive people.
Difficult words: license to operate (permission to work somewhere), background check (when you can see records to find out if someone has committed a crime or done other things in his or her past), appeal (ask to change a decision).
