I get what you are saying. The masking between bites and sips is to minimize the amount of virus (if the person is infected but asymptomatic) that escapes their nose and mouth. It is all about the viral load that can potentially be in the exposure to an unsuspecting person who is close to them in proximity. This silly rule has nothing to do with protecting the wearer of the mask.
Believe me, I think this rule is ludicrous but I understand the reasoning for it. I will never eat on an airplane as long as these ridiculous rules are in effect. I have, however, mastered how to take sips of a drink in between masking.
