I heard somewhere that it is a plot by the fast food industry. Apparently
fast food sales go up dramatically after daylight saving time comes on.

But is the time change even needed? What purpose does it really serve?
There are lots of stories about it rooted in wartime/economy etc. But these
things do not seem to be valid anymore. And are they worth the collective

I have to say I prefer light later in the day though.

physical mechanisms would not be extremely difficult (I think) to redesign
to change smoothly throughout the year.
