I don't know about you, but loads of people around me eat only 2 meals a day and still struggle with being overweight. (Not obese tho). The number of meals is a very small part of the entire diet and lifestyle matrix.

It is incredibly cheap and easy. Public transit is hard is in the same way that going to Harvard as a black person in 1900 was hard. It was hard because malicious forces (whether they accepted the accusation or not) made it impossible. Pain
