This. I really only eat a small breakfast because I have to for meds, but if it weren’t for that I’d totally be fine with one big meal a day (turns out to be dinner most of the time) and perhaps one apple or sth. late at night.
This forced 3-meal system is so weird and inconvenient.
It all revolves around work… eat before work, at your please-take-the-smallest-amount-of-time-mandated-so-we-don’t-get-sued mid-day or mid-shift break, and after work.
That’s just because we made it like that though for some weird cultural reason (as well as propaganda), there’s zero reason why an office worker or train conductor couldn’t eat multiple small amounts of fruits and veggies over the day, or just none at all until home. Even the idea of the “importance of breakfast” literally came from Kelloggs trying to convince everyone to eat cereal in the morning 60(?) years ago to build themselves somewhat of a ‘cultural anchor’. I mean, we could’ve also gone the way to chop each workday in 2-hour chunks and eat a bite between all of them. Good thing nobody told Nestle they could’ve made people buy more food that way.
