Food Habits, Western Impact On South India

First, the eating Habits. Normally South India takes meals in the morning,refreshments in the afternoon and meals at night. This consisted of a healthy, yet not taxing to the stomach. Then came the habit of the British Culture. Breakfast-Are we breaking a fast from 10 pm the last night? Then Lunch. Evening Tea(?) substituted by us with refreshments. Then Dinner or Supper. I am not sure how many know the difference between Supper and Dinner! Timings: Around 8.30 am,1 pm,4, 7 pm and 10 pm. Compare this with South Indian Timings ; 10 am,4 pm,7 to 8 pm. Jainism and Hinduism lay stress on Food and Timings for better physical, mental and Spiritual health. Jainism is more particular in that it proscribes partaking of Food after Sun down.
