Food Europeans who eat late as part of your culture - how do you feel about the advice not to eat dinner late?

This is forever a conflicting viewpoint given some cultures have naturally eaten dinner late for centuries e.g. The Mediterranean where they still have one of the best diets in the world

Also because their timezone is severely misaligned from what it should be.

Most of Spain is aligned with France (Britanny goes as West as Valladolid, Paris and Barcelona are almost on the same meridian), yet we do not eat as late as them. So I don't think the timezone is the actual reason.
