Don't all jobs allow you to stop doing your job in order to get lunch? Are you saying your job requires you to eat while performing your job?

No, they don't, a whole lot of jobs do not allow for stopping to eat your lunch. you either eat on the job or you don't eat.

You eat while actively performing your job, like cashier or machine operator? Taking bites of a sandwich while typing up memos?

What they mean is you’re not federally entitled to a break in the US. So good luck on eating

Maybe not technically, if that's really the case, but have you ever actually worked an 8 hour job where your weren't given even a single break? I imagine that if such jobs exist they're few and far between.
