Agreed. Even in a place with full-size cubes, you can still hear/smell food from others. My old office, we group of us would eat lunch in a conference room.

During that time we did various activities: Watching various TV shows on the projector. Playing card games (lots of Magic The Gathering), and other fun stuff. Working at home it's a bit different. I generally eat at my desk. I sometimes use that time to go for a walk or go to the gym. But mostly it's internet reading. :\
