A survey conducted among 747 Chinese consumers suggested that breakfast is often considered the most important meal of the day in China, with almost two out of three respondents believing it. Nonetheless, the survey also revealed that breakfast is the most skipped meal and is eaten least abundantly. According to the source, one of the reasons behind this contradiction between perception and practice might be Chinese people’s fast-paced life, which leaves little time to prepare a hearty breakfast in the morning.
