So I was making hot pockets and the little sleeves they go in have one sentence 'tips' (for lack of a better word). One of them said, "you can eat this all by yourself and still be social." It finally occurred to me that eating in front of someone who is not eating is considered rude. I never really thought of eating as a social activity. Who knew hot pockets employes cognitive behavioral therapists.

Jim Gaffigan has a lot to say about Hot Pockets.

Too bad I can't post the YouTube video here.

Pfft. I eat in front of people who aren't eating and never feel the least bit guilty about it.

Me too. If they want food, or don't want me to eat in front of them, they can ask me.

It's good manners to offer food to house visitors. If they are not hungry, then it is perfectly fine to eat in front of them while they aren't eating. Eating with someone who's company you enjoy can also improve pleasure you get out of meal time.
