Why is eating seen as a social activity?

I always wondered why humans eat together, such as in families or among friends as a bonding tool. What’s so important about ingesting food that we do it in a group?

Everyone has to eat at some time. And in general, it’s difficult to eat while performing whatever else people do during a standard day such as work or study. As such, it has been a time to take a break and socialize. While in modern times, it is easier to eat while doing other stuff, it’s still a good opportunity to sit down with family or friends as there may not be much other opportunity to do so in a given day.
