At blank 200, ‘widespread’ is the correct word. For modern humans, three meals a day may seem to be the ideal formula for being healthy and wise. Yet, evolutionarily speaking, our bodies are adapted to occasional periods of fasting, as a constant supply of food was not always guaranteed.

One wonders if widespread prevalence points to health benefits in addition to the discipline of the mind.
