The battle has long raged between larks and night owls — who is healthier, wealthier, and wiser? Who has more fun? Who gets more done?
Despite myriad studies and tons of scientific insights, the answer seems clear: merits are spread and divided across the two and only personal preference makes one better than the other.
Some studies show night owls outperforming morning larks in intelligence tests.
Others seem to confirm that night owls are more susceptible to developing rotten habits, like smoking and drinking.
Americans are constantly ranked among the most stressed out people in the world.
And although there’s nothing wrong with a little stress, since it can give us the strength and urgency to carry on, big stress can be paralytic.
The disconnect between the constant, gnawing needling of the multitasking, compartmentalizing, organizing voice in the back of our heads and the little bit of stress that the human brain is designed to handle…
Nobody could afford coconut oil during the war in the 1940s.

Well… then you’d better catch on to the contribution you’re making to a convergence of global crises brought on by the greed and improvidence of two major industries poisoning the population, advancing climate change, benefiting from systemic poverty, destroying the soil, invading politics, and generally making a muck of what used to be our simplest need: food.
Our issues with the way we eat scale all the way to the top of the food chain… but they start in your refrigerator.
