ecosystem importance: dhw's 'humans plus food' derision (Introduction)

dhw has constantly complained about my theory that God had a purpose to produce humans and a proper food supply as a goal after starting life by evolving humans and a huge bush of life for human food. A reason is here:

"In the hustle and bustle of modern existence, it can be all too easy to skip a meal or two. You might even do it deliberately. A new study suggests going without one of the standard three meals a day might have a serious downside.

"In a study of 24,011 US adults over 40, only having one meal a day was linked to a higher mortality risk in general. Skipping breakfast was associated with a greater risk of dying from a cardiovascular disease (CVD), while skipping lunch or dinner was associated with a greater risk of all-cause mortality, including a rise in CVD risk.

"There was even a problem for those who ate all three meals but had them too close together. Eating two adjacent meals within 4.5 hours of each other was also shown to be linked to increased all-cause death risk.

"While the study seems to complicate messages that suggest intermittent fasting could be good for you, the data highlights the importance of regular refueling stops for the body.

"'Our research revealed that individuals eating only one meal a day are more likely to die than those who had more daily meals," says epidemiologist Yangbo Sun from the University of Tennessee.

"'Based on these findings, we recommend eating at least two to three meals spread throughout the day."

"Around 30 percent of the study participants regularly had fewer than three meals a day. According to the data, those who were younger, male, non-Hispanic Black, with less of an education and a lower family income, were more likely to skip meals.

"Meal-skipping was also more prevalent among those who smoked more, drank more alcohol, were more food insecure, who ate less nutritious food, had more snacks, and took in less energy overall.

"This study isn't comprehensive enough to determine if meal skipping actually causes earlier death, only that there's an association worthy of further research. It's possible that other factors are involved, affecting both eating habits and mortality risk."

Comment: we don't know why God wanted to create us, but He knew what our food supply had to be adequate, so the huge bush of life had to be created with us. dhw is simply illogical.
