About ten years ago, Ice Cube did a great short video (and cool poster) about the Eameses to promote a local event in LA. Note it was produced by Chiat/Day, Apple's ad agency - I recall that they sometimes produce these kind of things for free for local non-profits. You might enjoy it :)
Your point about WB not knowing what FCF is so simple yet profound. Love it.
Re: your eating patterns, I recently undertook to quit caffeine. Along the way I came across an app called My Circadian Clock after watching this video: https://youtu.be/erBJuxVR7IE
His basic point is to align eating with our natural clocks. It's interesting, I've now quit coffee, sugar, wheat, and dairy. I feel way better. We'll see if I can keep it up.
So caffeine was my main objective. I cut from (if I'm being honest about "correct" sizing) probably 6-7 cups/day. When I got to 1-2 I felt incredibly better, less anxious/jittery, etc. Having gone that far I decided to try going the whole way. Getting to one cup was fine, and I spent about a week there. Then holy moley the headaches after I stopped the one cup. I should have gone to half and even a quarter cup for a while.
The other stuff, including sugar, was sort of a weird unintentional byproduct. We'll see how long it lasts. One tactic I've observed work on myself is watching YouTube videos about health etc. Hearing TED talks about how great life is after making a change from whatever it might help get me motivated to try it. I've done it with intermittent fasting/time-restricted eating too.
I'm clearly biased and on a short-term time frame right now, but I've been thinking more about these things lately. Can't help but think of Munger's approach to getting ahead in the world by not doing dumb things. Putting the right food in our bodies, getting enough sleep, digital hygiene, etc. are simple ways we can rise ahead without much innate talent/effort.

That thing sure isn't cheap, but damn it looks comfy.
I totally agree.

Quitting sugar is one I wish I could do fully, but that's *tough* one... Any tactics you used or just cold turkey, white knuckling it?

Impressive.
And wow, quite a coffee habit you had! I do green tea most days, and coffee maybe once a week. Not sure it's where I'd optimize first.
Cutting down on sugar would probably be the biggest bang for my buck.
