It's more important if we enjoy the food or not - that's the reason I recommend my kids to not watch TV or mobile while eating anything - just enjoy the food with joy.
It is important to accustom children to this right from the start. When we eat while looking at our mobile phones or television screens, our attention is completely diverted from eating. Then we lose track of the taste of the food and what we are eating. In my opinion, to enjoy food deliciously, we should eat it freely.
