Dont watch Reign but will always take an opporrunity to recommend Please Like Me. I think its better than both Looking and Girls.

The writers are using food as a shortcut to show a character's (negative) mood— the character is usually either rejecting food offered to them by someone they don't trust (to show the relationship) or rejecting food to show how freaked out they are by whatever murder mystery shenanigans have just rocked their world.…

Good point! They are always eating on SATC

Shit like this is why I have to applaud Sex and the City - those girls were always eating!

This show is one of my guiltly pleasures... It's worshipped mostly by thirteen year olds from what I've picked up. It's based around the murder of a young girl, but great lengths are taken to be sure that something as grim as this maintains its appeal to a young audience in the form of her glamourous friends.…

Sooo not the point. As stated in a comment above, characters are throwing away uneaten food talking about how they have no appetite after they hear certain news.

Absolutely, food props frequently remain untouched in movies and TV shows for continuity's sake - and especially on shows with a highly "composed" look like Pretty Little Liars, where hair and wardrobe are a top priority.

If you watch this clip you will see them throwing away uneaten food to make a point and talk about how they have no appetite after they hear some news, it is not about whether or not the actors put food in their mouths.

I have a final in a couple of hours. That may be the reason I sat here and watched the entire thing. I was mesmerized.

i think those of us who are food/weight/body conscious noticed this while the shows were airing. i don't know how many times you'd see one of the girls throw out half of something because she got spooked by A or would eat like a yogurt for dinner and that's it. or bitch about carbs - something 16 year olds shouldn't…

Well, how do you think the Pretty Little Liars stay Pretty and Little?

This is amazing. They should do this for every tv show.
