Well, I wanted to give a "frank" tit for tat, to anyone who might argue this "crutch" position.

I personally enjoy the pain of hunger as I code. That's why. I smirk in that I more fully realize my difference from others when I know they clearly do not enjoy that pain. I'm surely not saying it makes me better or smarter. I smirk in that I, in a way, come to know myself better: that I enjoy the pain of hunger, and what it looks like of others who do not, given the context.

Hm. I suppose that said it doesn't "go without saying." I'll recant there and say that I think leisure-lunching is, in my view, a kind of "crutch." Nourishment is essential, leisure is not.
