Funny what we call eating in the morning then, isn't it? (also, not everyone eats only at designated meal times. People snack.)

Sure, but ostensibly we're not eating right before bed.

If dinner is at 7 or 8 and breakfast is at 7 or 8 that's 50% more time than an equal meal distribution throughout the day.
