I don't know if anyone is interested, but I find the history of meals and mealtimes interesting.

Mealtimes on The Food Timeline

Good read. Very interesting! I thought this part from the 1905 section was especially interesting:
"The dyspepsia so common in this country comes from taking, as a habit, more food than is necessary"

Also interesting was the concept that for those not doing manual labor, two meals is enough. I've thought this for awhile, but am not willing to try it out consistently until I'm retired.

I know that on weekends, which tend to be pretty sedentary for me, I gravitate toward having only two meals---a late breakfast around 10 and then an early dinner around 4. This usually satisfies me, even on the days I don't snack.

Mitchell, that happens for me sometimes, too.
