I can watch people eat steaks and all the other goodies and it doesn't both me as I suck down whatever I have made into broth. I do enjoy the odors of good food tho. I would feel bad if I made the others unconmfortable. When my youngest makes BBQ meats , he tries to get me some fat for to suck on and enjoy. That helps.
