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.

I can see this with younger people, especially if you're in a school environment where the dynamic might be a little different.
But as an adult, l would never consider eating during therapy. Even if I go during my lunch break at work, which I have a few times, I'll usually just eat in my car while in transit. An extra early (say 6:30 am) appointment might warrent bringing coffee, but food seems out of place in any office.
