This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I grew up in childhood on one meal a day (or one meal every two days often as not) due to poverty, and I guess it set up a pattern - I very rarely eat three meals a day in adulthood. I used to always skip breakfast (nowadays I tend to just have a yoghurt with my coffee mostly because I tell myself it'll be healthy, not because I'm hungry), and then I usually have lunch OR dinner, but very rarely both.
Of course, when I was young I was horribly thin (6'3" and 110lbs when I left home at 18), now I eat considerably more, so that changed - but the meal habits didn't.
