The 3MAD schedule is a contrast to ancient Rome, where one who ate more than one meal a day was deemed a glutton. 3MAD was not created as a scientifically-tested optimal eating schedule for humans-it was created through a vicious cycle of advertising, profits, habits and ignorance that has helped spawn an obesity-generating culture.
The 3MAD schedule started as an attempt by common folks to emulate rich people who had no better way to indulge themselves and demonstrate their wealth than eating frequently. In the early 20th century, advertisers-particularly breakfast cereal companies-started pushing consumption to increase profits. The trend toward ever-greater consumption continues today as advertisers encourage a fourth meal and encourage kids to snack between meals.

What if we eat when hungry and don't eat when we are not?
Normalized body weight.
Reduced risk of disease
Lower inflammation
Better health
Better labs
Deeper sleep
Clearer thinking
Intermittent Fasting is a way to get us there. There are lots of models (12:12, 18:6, 20:4...5:2).
Getting in some more fermented foods like sauerkraut. Boiled carrots in liquid smoke and Braggs aminos. A little vegan junk... chips.... and an apple. Yum!
