Something I've noticed in the UK is that the British have a very strange attitude towards lunch.
Especially like an event or a public occasion, like have you ever been to an event that started in the middle of a day, and they provided like snacks or nibbles, and you're thinking it's lunchtime, a proper meal is needed.
The British really put so much more emphasis on dinner, being the proper meal.
At lunch, British people seem to just get by on, not much food.
I don't know how they do it honestly, like a sandwich, a piece of bread or a biscuit.
People from other countries complain about this. Why do I go to this work event?
Food should be provided given the time of day, but actually you have to be fending for yourself and feeling hungry.
And a lot of time, you have to stand and eat.
英国人对待午餐的态度
我发现英国人对待午餐的态度非常奇怪。
特别像活动或公共场合,例如参加中午的的活动,他们提供零食或小吃,然后你想这都午饭时间了,需要正餐。
英国人重视晚餐作为一顿正餐。而午餐时,英国人似乎只是简单地应付一下,吃的不多。
老实说,我不知道他们是怎么做到的,例如三明治、一片面包或一块饼干。
来自其他国家的人都抱怨这件事,我为什么要去参加这样的工作活动?
根据用餐时间,本应提供食物,但实际上你得自己照顾自己,而且感到饥饿。
而且很多时候,你不得不站着吃。

In Ireland we have a a pretty similar attitude I guess, so this British attitude doesn't sound too strange to me. :)

At lunch, British people seem to eat just enough to get by.
"just get by" is a nice common phrase I often use and I think you used it well, just the ending is not needed. But you can also play around with it.
British people seem to just get by. British people seem to eat enough just to get by. British people just get by on the bare minimum.
The one I used in the correction is maybe slightly more formal than the tone you are going for. The most casual and what I would normally say is "At lunch, it seems British people barely get by."
I don't know how they do it honestly, like just a sandwich, a piece of bread or a biscuit. I don't know how they do it honestly, like just a sandwich, a piece of bread or a biscuit.

Haha this is very funny and relatable. I'm not sure either.
But I think it is also very well written. It sounds very native and very similar to a conversation that one would actually have, like if you were at one of these events talking with someone. I like your use of the word like, it is very natural in this piece. I tried to make some corrections that might just be my personal preference to make it sound even more natural and native, like adding words like "even" or "just" to show a little more emphasis or emotion since in my head this is a very passionate conversation that this person is having.
Good job overall!

"like" is common as a filler word in colloquial, informal speech, but best not make a habit of overusing it in writing

I see you're dabbling in some more casual writing. Some of the things I changed are fine when speaking, but in writing not so much.
I think it's because there, dinner is regarded as family time. In the morning, everyone is rushing to go to work/ school, they have lunch separately too, leaving dinner as the only time they can eat together as a family. But then what about single people? I'm not sure, I could be totally wrong.

Hey, I'm very guilty of doing this my self and having the bare minimum for lunch and breakfast. I have never actually thought about how this is viewed around the world.
Hopefully my corrections helped and didn’t change the meaning of what you were saying.
