Mr. Chairman, I agree with you. Being an hour late or an hour early for lunch is not the end of the world. I agree that eating in front of witnesses is simply not in good taste, nor is it good hospitality. If there is a motion, I would support that we don't have meals brought in unless there is a long working session, and it is at the discretion of the chair.
