Relativity is not your strong suit, eh?
I, like everyone else should, eat whenever it is that I am hungry.

Pretty normal in the US to work 5x8 hour days. I work 4x9's with every other Friday being an 8 hour day.
I do 8a-6p (unpaid lunch) MTWTh, 8a-5p every other friday. Working 8-4 would be 6 hours here, and 5 of those is only 30 hours. We consider 40 hours to be full time employment.
I also often work later because I'm salaried and am exempt from overtime. Gotta get shit finished for deadlines.

Holy... that's a lot of work. I don't think I'd be able to work that many hours without going crazy.
I guess the additional wages would be nice, but damn...
It's normal for us to work 5x8 hours, as well... It's just that we consider the lunch and the breaks as part of the work-time so a day from 8 to 4 is considered a full 8 hour day
At least that's how it was for me... 8 to 4 with lunch and a few coffee-breaks and still got paid for a full 8 hours a day. Then again I usually just drank my coffee while working :P But then AGAIN I did spend a lot of time doing... non-work-related things on my computer. But I never missed a deadline so it's all good.
Ah yeah. I'm sure they exist, as there's no real regulation on whether a company has paid lunches or not, but I've certainly never heard of anyone with a paid lunch. I see people eat at their desks and such, though, so an 8-4 here with lunch at the desk would work. I think 9-5 is probably more common, but same deal.
Nah, I'm rarely hungry more than once a day, and eating a large lunch has kept me pretty much as far from fat as can be.
I would say the largest factor in when you would eat your last big meal (dinner or supper) would be the time when you go to bed. I would say it would probably fall between 4-6 hours before that for most people. For me, it is around 11:30-midnight. I then go to sleep at 4-4:30 AM. I work second shift right now and I don't get home until 11:30.
Uh, no not really. I'm not over-weight at all. I'm not a dog, I don't eat until I start puking it up. See, knowing when I'm hungry and eating also allows me to know when I'm full and to stop eating...
How is it you would assume that? Like it's now normal to assume people in America don't know how to eat?
Very rude.
Edit: So wait a sec.. Am I to assume, by way of your assumption, that you need to be told somehow by an external influence when to stop eating for fear of being/getting fat??

Dumbest thread i've read in a while. For a healthy lifestyle you place dinner a few hours before 19:00 were you should have a small evening meal. Eating dinner at 20:00 is too late, and if you don't have a godlike natural metabolism you might just get overweight/fat.
