Not just for survival

 "Although the brain accounts for only 2% of our body weight, it uses over 20% of all the oxygen, 25% of all blood flow, over 30% of the water the body takes in and 40% of all the nutrients consumed. If the brain is dehydrated by just 5%, the neurotransmitter activity is reduced by 30%. This results in fuzzy thinking, fatigue stymied decision making, impaired short term memory, and diminished focus and concentration. Sensible nutritional habits are vital in keeping the brain fuelled with the energy required to operate at its optimum capacity."

Proud to announce I am one of the many who skip their breakfast for no reason :) . Our point is "We are not going to die because of it". There may be other reasons, busy schedule, laziness, etcetera, etcetera. Reading the above paragraph may changed your views, like it changed mine, if you are one like me.
