...salient issue, says study co-author Fred Turek, may be the disruption of the body's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm.

"Because our bodies are naturally cued to eat at certain times of the day, dining at the wrong time might affect the body's ability to maintain its energy balance," he explains, meaning that our body starts to use its calories differently than it normally would.

Fish populations seem to collapse suddenly as well - overfishing causes fluctuations in fish stocks until it passes a threshold...
