“that since this meal is learned from the words “Hayom Lo”, unlike the first two meals which are learned from the word “Hayom”, we don’t need to eat bread for Shalosh Seudos, unlike the first two meals”
It’s not a Chabad chiddush that you can be yotzei without bread; the Rema says so in hilchos Pesach and probably elsewhere. It’s a Chabad chiddush that you should for some reason avoid bread like it’s some kind of issur. Don’t pretend you didn’t understand the issue being raised.
“So, eating before praying is not unique to Chabad”
Chabadniks have achilas keva before shachris. This is what you guys always do. You focus on a facet of the issue where you have slight backing to throw a smoke screen over the greater picture and fool the less learned people. And, for the record, eating before shachis is for all intensive purposes unique to Lubavitch and MO people (not the only area where those groups overlap).
