Just as Vomiting Cop can demonstrate that someone in law enforcement isn't (yet) jaded about gory death, this trope shows just how jaded someone who works with dead bodies can get. Whether they're a Creepy Mortician showing an abnormal indifference to morbidity, or The Coroner whose mid-autopsy noshing is being Played for Laughs, expect all but the most sober of works to show people in the funerary trades munching sandwiches or french fries, or at least sipping coffee, while they've got a body on the slab. Compare The Snack Is More Interesting, Pass the Popcorn, Nausea Dissonance.

Probably more Truth in Television than you'd think. Medical examiners tend to be lightly supervised and are usually granted free reign of the lab. Evidence of a person's death is nearly always blatantly there or blatantly not there, so the strict precision and sterility of other laboratory procedures aren't really an issue. And as long as the food isn't being purposely rubbed on rotting tissue or something, the health concerns are minor. Obviously, regulations and enforcement vary from department to department.
