For breakfast, coffee, sweet rolls, and eggs are commonly eaten. At lunch, the most important meal of the day, the most common foods are soup, meat, rice, tortillas and coffee. At the end of the day for dinner, the food eaten depends on the family’s income, geographic regions and family customs. Americans typically eat three meals a day with snacking in between. At breakfast, there is no typical meal; the same can be said for lunch and dinner as well. All of the foods that a family eats can depend on income.

1. Humans first appeared on Earth during the Paleolithic Era. The evidence of burial grounds, stone tools, and other items shows a general migration path of humans out of Africa, and support the theory that these groups were nomadic hunters and foragers.

Millions of Americans wake up every morning and make a decision about what they will eat for breakfast to jump-start their day. Some may reach for a bowl of Cheerios or multigrain cereal, while others may opt for yogurt, toast, or a pastry. Some people choose to wash down their breakfast with pulp-free orange juice, while some may drink a protein drink or an invigorating coffee to get them going. For lunch, many people will consume sandwiches piled high with meats and cheeses or perhaps a cheap meal from the nearest fast food restaurant. When it comes to dinner, this meal may vary from family to family, but most dinners consist of a starch or two, a kind of meat, some variation of a vegetable on a good day, and a dessert to finish out the day.
