Question
Sometimes I have no appetite and it distresses me to eat. Must I overcome this for the honor of the Shabbat meal?
Answer
If eating distresses you, it is forbidden to eat on Shabbat, and you should wait until your appetite returns. There is no need to rush to start eating just because it is midday.
