Maybe. But judges are also disciplined and anally retentive. Gratification delayers. I can imagine many of them just want to get it done, then eat. May even be a cerebral-overemphasis leading to lack of body awareness. So for them, the rational action would be complete work, then eat (if time haha :)).

But I guess you meant more generally in evolution. Yes, but the question is how does the body prioritize eating in situations where food is not available but hunger is? If food is not obvious, it must be sought. Increase the noise in the search algorithm, would seem to maximize state space exploration in food quest, which seems something evolution would then pass on.

Better than cargo culting anyway hahaha! :)
