Am I missing something, or does the author really not mention the strong body of evidence showing that calorie restriction is one of the only interventions consistently associated with a significantly longer lifespan? I feel like it's obvious that Jack and anyone else skipping meals is doing so because of solid science, not "because Stoicism" (and a good thing, too, because how idiotic would that be?)

I agree. The article is so obviously biased against anything related to the world of tech that it makes me feel like it was written by a bot.
