Personally, yes. Taking time out to eat so I don't die takes me away from other things I was enjoying doing.

I enjoy the taste of many foods, but not as much as I was enjoying the thing I was likely doing before it.

I am grateful for the processes of cooking and cleaning and other daily maintenance in my life. I'm reminded of a zen proverb: "Before enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, you chop wood and carry water."
