I had just finished cooking a big pan of huevos rancheros when my sister called to tell me my dad had died. I left it. My wife was working in a different state so it just sat there until I came home ~72hrs later. It was gross.

and if it's not something urgent that I have to go anywhere bcos of it, I'd continue eating because that's how I deal with stress and distressing news :(

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."

-Aziz Ansari

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.

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!

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"

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.

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.
