It was completely normal for a long time. Folks would get up in the morning and eat breakfast. Then they would have lunch, then they would have dinner. After they had dinner, that was it for eating.

These days, we eat like hobbits. We have morning coffee full of sugar from your favorite coffee shop, maybe with a small sweet. Then we have some sort of small snack probably with another cup of sweetened coffee, then we may munch on some other stuff while waiting for lunch, then we have lunch, then we go get another coffee between lunch and dinner. THen we have another snack while waiting for dinner. Then it's dinner time. Then while watching TV in the evening after dinner, more snacks and/or liquid refreshments.

For many/most folks today it's a non-stop eat fest that means our blood sugar is always high and our waists are ever expanding.
