Default When people eat on TV

Have you ever noticed that when ppl eat on TV show, they usually NEVER actually eat, like put anything in their mouth, and usually never drink anything and usually don't stay at the table for more than 2 minutes before they jump up lol

I like it when they are all at the table and the phone rings. They all turn and stare at the phone.

I heard it's because the food is rather nasty. It's given to them lukewarm and it's probably tasteless. I wouldn't want to eat it, either. I also notice that on alot of TV shows, when they go out to eat, when they are served their drinks, they don't have any ice in them. What restaurants serves drinks with no ice???

Mike Stivic used to be seen openly eating often on AITF. I hope for Rob's sake the food was good!

And I swear there were a couple of years when the Snyders were on ATWT constantly where it seemed like the whole town of Oakdale did nothing but sneak out to the farm and eat!

Yes this, the food isn't exactly made to be edible but to be able to stand up in all of lights. Also, a lot of actors don't want to trying delivering lines with a mouth full of food.

I've also noticed that when small groups of people sit down at a dinner table, they always leave a set empty so the camera can peer thru.
