Sims won't sit at the dining table to eat

Everytime my Sims grabs food from the fridge they either sit on a couch or go an eat at the bed (specially if there is another sim at the house) to start chatting. The dining table is right next to the kitchen but they go and eat elsewhere. Dining tables should be the most relevant option for them to eat and if you queue an activity like jogging, they will take the food with them instead on finishing their meal at the table
