I think that it's the idea that a person eats at this time and that time and then again at this time doesn't work for everyone. I am not hungry when I wake up in the morning so breakfast hasn't been a thing for me since it was forced on me by my parents. Work and school give you a time for lunch, it doesn't matter if you are hungry or not. You eat then or go without. Then there is the evening meal. When I was a kid, supper was at 6 pm, period. When I worked till 6 as a senior in high school, I got home about 6:15. Supper wasn't delayed, it was done by the time I got home. I could eat some leftovers before doing the dishes.
I am much happier now that I can eat when I am hungry and not because it's noon. We have been made to believe that the scheduled eating is what we do. Yeah, that doesn't work for me.
Now, if I were diabetic and needed to eat a certain amount in certain amounts of time, I would have to adjust to that. I sometimes need to eat something in order to take certain medications. But I can't work with a strict schedule of morning, noon, and night. My desire for food doesn't follow a clock.
