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.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

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.
