"I've been on the breakfast bandwagon for about two years now ("Chris Rethinks Skipping Breakfast," July 16)! I thank [BOC] Andy T. for turning me on to the oft-neglected meal. I eat two eggs with wheat toast EVERY day. A two-part question for CW: Who or what influenced Chris to eat breakfast? And what does he eat? Wait til he learns about coffee. The world may not be ready for his production!"

Chris replies:

"Thanks for writing, Brett. I'd have to credit the delicious combination of a crumbled Nature Valley granola bar mixed into a vanilla yogurt from Safeway with convincing me that a solid breakfast yields solid output. Literally. And it must be Safeway brand yogurt. I got Dannon once in a pinch and it was not nearly sweet enough. Also a lot of times I grab a bagel or similar pastry-type product from a nearby shop. However, I'm sure you'd be the first to point out that those options don't provide the energy boost of the yogurt/granola combo, and you'd be right. I'd have Eggs Benny every morning if I could but the CW kitchen staff has yet to master the complexities of the dish."

Keep those letters coming!

Chris Weekly: Yielding solid output even without the solid breakfast.
