In the medieval period, the breakfast and lunch, you know, those great banquets we all think of, you know, in the Tudor period, were at lunchtime.
They weren't in the evening.
And so our changed eating habits have been relatively recent, driven by the aristocrats.
So a show of wealth was illuminating your house with candles.
And it's worth bearing in mind until, you know, 19th century, a candle was the equivalent of a working man's daily wage.
They were incredible.
incredibly expensive.
And so many working people, they followed the natural light-dark cycle.
Whereas the aristocrats started eating later, and that sort of trickled down in more recent years to much of society eating later in the evening.
And that's the worst possible thing that we could be doing.
So if possible, and I again know it's complicated because of the way we structure our lives and the commute and all the rest of it, try big breakfast, nice lunch, minimum bowl of soup in
the evening.
