The only reason I can think of to eat at an appointment is if the client has to rush back to work or something. Otherwise, if it were me, I would simply eat after. I don't find, for me, it matters much if I eat at noon or 1 or 1:30 or whenever. It might matter if I were taking some sort of medication or had diabetes or something like that. I would not eat at an appointment with my accountant or other professional meeting either.
When the therapist eats is not my problem.

Well if I was to ask her about it (which I am not planning on at the first session unless we are talking about something related to it), and if we were to do something along those lines it would only be maybe once a month, maybe the first Wednesday (provided that is the day that I see her) of each month is a Lunch Session.
This also happened when I was younger in Group Therapy (which we used to call Collage) we had snacks towards the end of every session.
It's not that I would care if I ate after Therapy (which would be around 1) its just that the Therapy Session comes at a good time for lunch so why not take advantage of it (and as I stated above it would not be every session so for the sessions that we don't have lunch I would eat afterwards).
