The breakfasts of presidential champions

Americans are gearing up for our quadrennial duty of electing a president. There are many ways to gauge whether a man or woman would be a good fit for the job: their performance in previous offices, accomplishments, education, military service, leadership, vision, etc. The list goes on and on.

Here’s a new wrinkle: Why not pick someone based on what they eat for breakfast? The daily routine of each president is so structured and minutely orchestrated that they only get precious few minutes to do whatever they want. Breakfast is one of those rare opportunities, and it can reveal things about the person.
