Am I wrong to have suspicions about the possibility that food conglomerates may have funded this study? I am not a conspiracy theorist, but with the number of dietary science that turned out to be wrong over time, I must be skeptical about every new study.

Don't a lot of drug addicts only eat once a day?

And what about obese people eating three big meals a day?

I feel great when I stop eating by 2 PM. Sleep better, have more vivid dreams, and more energy the next day.

I'm reminded of an old doctor approaching retirement who told me longevity was largely luck and genetics.

if you have some kind of evidence to believe that, you wouldn't be wrong. But without that evidence, yes, you'd be wrong to have suspicions just based on disagreeing with the result.
