Question: What did William Howard Taft, America’s heaviest president, enjoy daily for breakfast?

Answer: His usual meal consisted of a “thick, juicy 12-ounce steak.” This was served alongside two oranges, plenty of buttered toast, and a “vast quantity” of coffee loaded with large amounts of cream and sugar. As Taft got older, he eventually cut back to just a 6-ounce serving of steak for breakfast.
