Fair point!
Nope, they didn't. Biologically we're not meant to eat 3 times a day, every day. That's why we have a lot of health problems, our bodies don't know how to handle so much food.

Don't get too hung up on certain words, I just meant within the scope of how we evolved; our bodily systems are better suited to doing certain things in a certain way. The agricultural revolution happened around 10,000 BCE, yet gluten sensitivity is a very common affliction.
