Back in the day you had dinner in the afternoon, and supper in the evening.
Now you have dinner in the evening, and who even invited this lunch guy?
When did this change happen? Is there a reason for it?

As I understand it:
“Breakfast” is when you “break your fast”; the first meal of the day.
Before industrialization the large meal (dinner) was in the middle of the day, but after industrialization people couldn’t go home for a mid day meal, and it became “Lunch”
This moved the large meal later, and became “dinner”.
Supper which used to be the last meal became the same as dinner.
But I could be totally wrong.
