- lukasm 12y agoI've been thinking about difference between Poland and UK. When I lived in Poland my day look quite different. 8:00 breakfast 11:30 2nd breakfast 15:00 Dinner (soup + main) 20:00 Supper (something light like sandwiches or boiled sausages). I think this and more process food are the reasons why there are 2x more obese people in UK.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoHow did you fit that around work? I could do the 2nd breakfast if it was something I could eat at my desk (fruit for example) but the 15:00 dinner would probably last too long to fit in on my lunch hour (and it's quite late for lunch too when most employees break at 12:00 or 13:00).
