Teens Skipping Breakfast Tend To Have Sex Earlier In Life: Poll
TOKYO (Kyodo)–A recent national poll of around 1,500 people has shown that those who skipped breakfast in their early teens first had sexual intercourse at an average age of 17.5 years, earlier than 19.4 for those who had breakfast every day and an average 19 for all those polled, according to a health ministry study panel.

Perfect example of a correlation, not a causation.
But we can still have fun inventing causation scenarios.
Good thing kids don’t read newspapers these days; we have a hard enough time getting them to eat healthy as it is.
The causation is simple:
Skipped breakfast = concerned about dieting = not a geek = sexually active
Eats properly = conservative, not fashion-conscious = geek = virgin
Now all I need to do is start asking joshi daisei if they had breakfast before I proposition them….
Apparently, the government’s thesis was that it isn’t the breakfast that matters, but rather the fact that the family is around to make it.
