#3Does this include Europeans? My experience is that most western Europeans are their meals quite late, do they have the same problems that this article purports?

"Europeans have fewer cases of reflux than we do, even though many of them eat late. That’s most likely from portion control. In France, for example, a serving of ice cream is typically a single modest scoop, while in America, it’s often three gargantuan scoops."

Since you apparently didn't bother to read the article...

portion control. In France, for example, a serving of

#6here:
"...two bottles of good red wine for the table [...] her reflux was serious..."
Too much food and drink is bad for you. that's all.

#7So the conclusion that can be drawn from the article is that if you can't control your portions, eat early. If you can control your portions, as she says Europeans do, then it's fine to eat late.
So then the issue really at hand isn't eating time, it's portion size.

I disagree. The issue at hand is both, and they are handled in different ways by different people.

Europeans also tend to stay upright for a longer period during the meal.
Americans gorge and lie down.

I've been thinking about difference between Poland and UK. When I lived in Poland my day look quite different.
8:00 breakfast
11:30 2nd breakfast
15:00 Dinner (soup + main)
20:00 Supper (something light like sandwiches or boiled sausages).
I think this and more process food are the reasons why there are 2x more obese people in UK.
