When you're eating some food, and you're on 3rd person mode, the character uses the "use" animation (like when applying bone meal to a crop), instead of the eating animation that you see on 1st person.
EDIT: I attached a bedrock edition video which shows how the animation should look like.

I have, however, created a new ticket about the arm swing animation being played, which was not the case prior to 19w37a.
Confirmed for 19w38a and 19w38b
