Food may taste the same, but I sure don't get to eat much while holding a 25 month old who absolutely won't sit still no matter what I do, and tries to run around the restaurant at all times
Plus my child has a gluten allergy and I don't so either I have to avoid gluten or fend off him eating my non gluten free food from my plate. So while it does work, it certainly isn't ideal. I'm glad it works better for you.
