preindustrial people would have had a stronger incentive to eat preplanned meals

I suspect that there was/is a big difference between foragers and farmers in that respect.

Snacking also doesn't require modern food-preservation technology. It's easy to snack on apples, berries, bread, cheese, etc.

Which unfortunately means that even refraining from buying junk food doesn't completely stop me from eating before dinner! :-(
