Comments
In my experience as someone who had an ED and I am a sober addict, sometimes I think that people get upset when you deny food or drinks because of their own shame around food or drinking. There’s a joke online about how when a woman asks her partner to go get ice cream and the partner says “I don’t want any, but I’ll take you” and the girlfriend gets grumpy and says they don’t want it anymore. I think because of diet culture and fat phobia, people feel less ashamed when they are eating “bad” food with others because if they are alone then it must mean they are a pig. Same with drinking, people often take a persons decision to not drink as a personal attack, especially if they feel like they may have a problematic relationship with alcohol. I used to pay my friends to drink with me or offer to pay for their whole night out because if I was drinking alone my problem would be obvious. And despite being in ED recovery for years i still feel uncomfortable eating “junk” food around others when they are not participating.

Different cultures may find different things appropriate or inappropriate and at different minor ages too. I am not sure I know the right answer, but I am a parent and I am an educator. And the keyword here is 'complex.' Not just the basics I am assuming.
