Generally breakfast comes after a 10-12 hour fast for most people, so I don't think this is the way to think of it.

True, I think a good policy is to eat when you're hungry. Not sure the body was necessarily meant to be constantly processing food all the time anyway.

Totally agree, and also breakfast is the 'easiest' meal to skip as well, along with mooted benefits of extending your overnight fast.

I would be shocked if most people in our obese country don't eat after dinner.

Fasting, while accurate, is kind of deceptive too, since most of those hours are spent asleep. Very few people burn of their previous day's intake by the time they've woken up, or even close to it.
