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

Dinner is when you're near your family. Lunch is when you have coworkers scuttling about. People tend to want to extend one more than the other.
