'the times' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.

'diets must change' is the wordplay.
'must change' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'diets' is an anagram of 'TIDES'.

'with' is the link.
