Under some US state laws and most European labor laws, yes. But they are subject to various restrictions as to when and for how long.
The US federal wage and hour laws do not require lunch or coffee breaks. However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks as compensable work hours that would be included in the sum of hours worked during the work week. This is primarily considered in determining if overtime was worked. (Lunch breaks are not included in pay or in overtime calculation.)

Why does Taco Bell force it's employees to buy a 5.00 lunch or dinner every single time an employee works?
All employers are required by law to allow a meal break for any employee that works more than four consecutive hours. Employees are not, however, required by law to actually eat during their meal break, and I seriously doubt that your statement that Taco Bell forces employees to buy a meal is true at a corporate level. (It could be true at a specific location, but if so, it's probably grounds for a lawsuit.)
