I saw earlier, falsely implying not only
that three meals a day came about
through commercial or industrial
supply and greed, but that the word
"breakfast" came about through breaking
fasts after times of morning prayers. ...
Jesus, help us.
Jesus hosted a breakfast on the shore of Galilee.
The disciples gleaned corn to eat during daylight hours.
Jesus fed a multitude sometime before dusk, and He offered His last meal in earth during twilight hours.
Since Jesus' walk in earth, God has given us keys to a lot of science, so that we understand not only that the infant needs (not craves) nutrition multiple times each day, particularly after sleep times, but also exactly what the child needs.
When I was a small child, I didn't have any reason to doubt when my parents said breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that it breaks a fast after eight or more hours sleep, and that I needed to eat.
Eating breakfast is based on biological need, not religious timing and not internal impulses alone.
To folk who believe otherwise, ... you need Jesus - and common sense.

Where Jesus says, "Those who eat my flesh ..." (John 6:56), the church, Jesus's body, has unraveled that mystery to mean we worthily accept unlevened bread and crushed grapes in fellowship or communion together, as symbols or substitutions for consuming His literal body (for His yoke, His word, is easy and not a burden like this world's burdens, and un-pregnant bread and crushed grapes were the example He gave at communion with His first disciples, knowing the need to express purity, and knowing there would be parts of the church that generally would refuse meats). But when we part from oneness of fellowship or communion, there become matters of how to maintain health and strength bodily or physically; and He knew we wouldn't all agree about sustenance to be thankful to Heaven for. He knew we wouldn't all understand clean meat, nor spiritual moderation in eating, nor clean meat as bought by His blood as a substitute not for His flesh in communion but as an expression of His pardon in eating of actual flesh that He intended or planned for the willing to eat. ... My God, how good Jesus is. ... These are good thoughts before fasting from many meats, for example, before Easter: Easter being one small reminder that God (in the person of His Son), was not physically eaten (Lamentations 3:22-24).
