There’s a Korean tv series called Stranger. I’ve only seen the first season, but it was so frustrating to see the main character order food and never eat it. I think they deliberately did it for shits and giggles. Like he’ll go to a restaurant and order food. Then just as he’s about to take a bite, either he stops to talk to the other person with him or someone calls him on the phone. Then he either has to leave or the scene cuts.
"Chris [Pratt] never uses a spit bucket. When you do scenes where a character is eating, you eat and then spit it out into a ‘spit bucket.’ Chris just keeps eating. If you see Andy eating a cheeseburger in a scene, you should know Chris Pratt ate like 8 cheeseburgers. I love that guy."

I'm assuming that show just wants to avoid using spit buckets and/or wasting food.
He probably does it now. That marvel body can't handle junk food.
Also, fat Chris Pratt was a better human.
they made one prop dish and had to use it for multiple takes
Yes as a millennial who has never had a lot of money, there is one thing that's engraved in my soul: NEVER WASTE FOOD!
Or they are so shocked they drop something and it shatters on dramatic fashion.
Unholy terror from another dimension about to kill me? Imma put this down real quick.
I've been watching halt and catch fire and I hate the main guy ever since he threw his wife's whole lasagna in the trash for no reason other than "I can make food too"
When you have family dying in the hospital and the family is just there waiting for the end, the nurses bring out a snack cart.
Most people nervously eat when they're sad.
