Those times when I have worked in an office, I took lunch at my desk, and claimed to be working during that time so as to go home early, but in fact I did no work. I bear no guilt for that, because I was always dramatically underpaid.
But when I am teaching, I usually take my lunch out in the quad, reading, so that students can come up and talk to me.
