I hate to nitpick, but I can't stand this persistent meme that eating in the morning boosts your metabolism, or some such nonsense. It doesn't[1]. This idea needs to die.

I hate to nitpick, but the "Skipping breakfast is bad and will make you fat" section of that article is terrible, as are some of the others. The skipping breakfast section doesn't actually show data either way, it's just the author expressing his interpretation of correlation studies. I'm not saying he's necessarily wrong, just that he needs to show real data to support his claims.

Also, the site's design is terrible and the font size is too small.
