Why is 3 meals a day the goal? I thought the 'breakfest is the most important meal of the day' was just a commercial series. I usually don't have time for breakfast and I don't really feel like I'm missing anything.

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.
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 😅
Where is this from? Those buildings look familiar
Picture metasearch description says East London. Definitely not familiar
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 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
For this kinda thing ? Really ? 10k to extrapolate into the population of what 300 mil ?
Think that's pretty wild. For maybe a single question with a few variations but something as complicated and complex as poverty and spending habits.
Iyf like to see the sources to back up that claim.
If that 10k is representative, that should give a very small uncertainty interval, less than 1%. You can get 95% confidence interval with only a few hundred samples depending on the standard deviation, so 10k is actually massive. It's pretty standard statistics, here's more info on how it's calculated.
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.
you're right! can you calculate the sampling size that would've given 95% confidence
