3 meals a day was never normal for me

idk about everyone else but my solution to shit finances isn't eating less, it's making half my diet potatoes and onions..

i generally find statistics like these to be nothing more than ragebait.

[–] neidu@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

I'm doing pretty decent financially, and I don't eat three meals a day. I just have awful dietary habits.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I eat one a day if I remember.

[–] SnuggleSnail@ani.social 7 points 2 years ago

I would also check the box at not eating three times a day. Because I eat so much delicacies in the evening, that I don’t need breakfast any more 😅

You folks too?

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Well yeah. If I sit at home on Sunday playing videogames, I'm OK eating once a day and maybe having some snacks. If I bike to the mountains, I eat my weight in food. If I work intensively, I might have three meals a day, but sometimes I'm OK with two and a coffee with croissant for breakfast even then.
You seem to paint it like it's some kind of a bad thing

Where is this from? Those buildings look familiar

Picture metasearch description says East London. Definitely not familiar

Where do they get these stats from ?

Bullshit statistics.

10k were interviewed. They extrapolate 10k to the population of Europe. C'mon that's just mad. Especially with something as complicated as poverty.

Europe also currently has a war ongoing and has huge areas of incredibly poor and wealthy. Can't really average that out. Wouldn't trust anything that comes out of this research institution

Dug around a little. Seems the 10k were split between 10 different states. Here is an infographic from the source:

The numbers do seem inflated and don't add up very well comparatively between the different countries either.

Ah didn't see the breakdown. Incredibly leading questions and highly charges but seems legit

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

you're right! can you calculate the sampling size that would've given 95% confidence
