I think that is highly unlikely, of course, and in practice like so much else this restriction is simply designed to deter the majority in the hope of increasing revenue.
I understood that the responsibility of the Captain was to ensure the safe progress of the aircraft. He is empowered to issue commands to facilitate that. I do not know where he would derive his powers to facilitate increased sales. How can eating a sandwich endanger an aircraft?
