This is an "it depends." Mouth open? Smacking lips? Take some time to listen to yourself. It can be hard; most people become deaf to their own noise since they're exposed to it 24/7. The same way people with B.O. can't smell themselves.

Noisy carrots? Hmmmm, I know a place you can put them where they won't make noise..suggest THAT to whomever you discover left the note. Last time I checked, passive aggressive cowardism was also detrimental to health...sep in a workplace. Time for a seek and destroy mission op. ?Good luck with your health goals.

Yes. Yes, I do think it's okay.

Basic office food etiquette: [1] No one should eat anything super noisy at their desk (e.g., chips, celery, apples, individually wrapped candies) or pop/smack gum; and [2] No one should cook or eat anything super smelly (e.g., popcorn, fish), anywhere in the office. There should be nothing wrong with eating noisy foods in the kitchen or dining area, but if you're going to eat at your desk, it needs to be quiet food (or at least have the common courtesy to ask "Would it be too noisy if I ate some celery? Would that bother anyone?" first -- you might be surprised to find out that most of the time, at least one person within earshot will object). Smells, on the other hand, carry through the whole office -- several times, I've seen offices empty out because someone cooked fish and made the whole office too stinky to work in.

What a jerk thing to do. If it was me in the situation I'd make a point of eating super loud.

Eat them as loud as you possibly can

You could try apples or bananas or yogurt. Some softer foods or a bag of mixed nuts. lots of healthy snack option s :)
