I pretty much agree about food, with your POV, but for a different reason. I find eating to be a socially disgusting habit, as well as a gross waste of efficiency and time.
(I don't go out with friends so we can watch each other eat.)

I know what you mean, but that's not the social norm. There's actually a Star Trek:Enterprise episode where the alien species is offended by humans eating in public. The aliens only ever eat by themselves.
When I'm by myself I have a "military" attitude towards food. Keep it simple and get the job done.
Over the years it's been torture for my Dad because almost *all* social occasions inevitably involve going out to eat. We would sit there gobbling down hamburgers and fries and all he could eat was a salad. Totally unfair.
