It's just amazing how much food you go through in a day feeding 16 people breakfast, lunch and dinner,

One consequential change is that people used to get most of their calories at breakfast and midday, with only the evening top-up at suppertime. Now those intakes are almost exactly reversed. Most of us consume the bulk--a sadly appropriate word here--of our calories in the evening and take them to bed with us, a practice that doesn't do any good at all.

Fussing over food was important. It gave a shape to the day: breakfast, lunch, dinner; beginning, middle, end.

I'm very good about eating breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I rarely have time for lunch, so tend to have a big breakfast and big dinner.

I only come for breakfast and lunch.
