Is there a trope for "Villains Eating"?

Very often I notice when a bad guy is introduced, whether it is obvious they are bad, or if they are just a weak, shifty shady member of the protagonists' group of allies, there is always a tell, in that they are eating something. I guess it's similar to Villains Out Shopping, which I've seen on here. Could be related to Bad Guy Bar.Usually, the bad guys (often corrupt cops or prison officials) are really enjoying what they are eating instead of doing what they are supposed to be doing, i.e. their job.

There are an enormous amount of examples out there. I have been remembering this trope for years. Most of the only examples I can think of at the moment are from small independent, or foreign films.

I just saw it in 186 Dollars to Freedom, when they introduced what looks like the chief prison guard.

Last night, I saw Tom Wilkinson's senior detective eat a lot in the australian Joel Edgerton film noir Felony.

Pretty much everybody except for the main character in the Australian western Mystery Road is grossly eating something. The sound editor seems to want to enhance the gross sounds in order to generate a sense of contempt for these people in the audience's mind.

Several characters in Rover eat a lot during inappropriate times.

Maybe in Full Metal Jacket, the doughnut that Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence was hiding in his foot locker, was a sign of trouble to come.

Gary Oldman's Drexl in True Romance is introduced eating chinese food with chopsticks. His Dracula is always eating or trying to get some human blood.

Anton Chigurh unnerves his first victim by eating peanuts in 'No Country for Old Men.'

The guys who stole from Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction were eating Big Kahuna burgers.

It could be inverted, as in Braveheart, when Stephen The Mad Irishman is always eating. His introduction makes him seem like a real threat to William Wallace, mostly because he's always got something in his mouth, but in the end, he is one of the most loyal members of the Wallace's army.

Anyway, I watch a lot of movies and I constantly see this eating by villains.

I've also noticed that the really, truly threatening boss villains - Longshanks, Zod, Nurse Ratched - don't eat at all. These guys are the real danger. Their malice is real. Most of the eating villains look like henchmen compared to the ones who are so determined to do their evil deeds they don't got time to eat. Though some of them, like Marsellus Wallace, sound like their mouths are full.

It's so predictable now. I'm a bit surprised I haven't been able to find a trope listed here.

I'm totally new to this website. I don't really know how to create a trope or whether it won't be deleted right away.

If it needs to be started, I would appreciate some assistance or advice on how to do it. This is a collaborative effort right?

Thanks in advance.

Update: I guess it could be similar to Villainous Glutton, but the characters are not necessarily fat, though they might be deformed from their behavior. It's more of an action they take than an obvious sign of past corrupt actions. The trope I'm thinking of is a bit more subtle than Villainous Gluttony.

As it says in the pinned post above, YKTTW is the place for proposing new tropes. What you are describing is not a trope; it is "a thing that happens", otherwise known as People Sit On Chairs. For a trope to exist, there must be a narrative structure or narrative purpose that it fits into.
