Sorry for late reply - my reply was in draft for some reason,
I used to eat once a day as well - like six years ago I think I was doing it - I used to have just one large meal, with largely no sugar really - it was just like potatoes and meat kind of thing from memory - I felt great eating that way. I might go back and try it again, although I eat mainly plant based now. 3pm for a meal sounds about the time I was doing my one meal as well - although about an hour beforehand, I kept looking at the clock lol - I was hungry.
the good thing about automation is that hopefully as you say, it will compensate - as we age, and also in other ways that compound and give us more time to do other things - of course they are building robots for this task now - but I think the idea about getting something with an AI brain that can just do stuff, will be the future for smaller homes - like a simple four foot tall robot, humanoid that has a brain and can garden and do all that - you have two of them, and you could keep a good sized garden - I grew up with a quarter acre section with fruit trees, gardens, and we produced enough to subsist most things - it was really only meat we bought - other things we would trade or sell at roadside. Maybe the robots could cultivate a more natural approach to pest control, such as they do with dragonflies and flies on cattle etc., I would like to think it would be more like the bio-dome I have on my desk and everything had a natural order.
Thanks!
