As I love being controversial:

My view is that if there is no planned lunch break then it is your decision whether or not to attend. We all know that things can happen which reduce any planned break - that's why we always take food with us.

But if you know there is going to be no break then don't go and then complain about it afterwards.

So long as there is a loo nearby then ignore whether or not there is a break and think about what cars are out there and what the racing will be like. That should be what you base your decision on as to whether or not to attend a meeting.

But we all still whinge afterwards when a planned break is curtailed. Isn't that why we're marshals?
