A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

You do not need 3 meals a day, period. I'm not implicitly stating that, I'm explicitly stating it as a fact of human history. Having unfettered access to huge calorie bombs 24/7 is not normal. People who are obese should skip at least one meal a day and eat less food.
Quick guideline that'll help you be more empathetic to the rest of humanity: other people's experiences aren't like yours. Their bodies behave differently, they have different socioeconomic statuses, their minds struggle with things yours finds easy and vice versa. So "skip a meal" is trivial for you and impossible for another. That's why many different diets exist.
Stop painting humanity with one brush just because you can't see outside your own world view.
Also: A chunk of human history where we skipped meals regularly also involved getting eaten by predators. Just because it was true in the past does not make it true now. Having access to calorie bombs 24/7 is normal now. And society hasn't figured out how to deal with that. Some handle it fine, others handle it poorly.
I eat two meals a day. I drink mostly plain water, with some black coffee and unsweetened tea. I cut out soda over a decade ago and sweets are a rare luxury. I can't afford to eat massive amounts of food even if I want to. So why am I still fat?
Because you expend less calories than you consume.
Maybe you eat processed food? Lots of nasty stuff in there.
Good luck!
Being "processed" has nothing to do with whether or not something is healthy. It's the ingredients that matter.
Well good luck finding processed food without a lot of crap in it my friends.
