I've had a similar issue on Nintendo Switch. My son suddenly began to not be able to eat while we were playing split screen in a local world in my account. It shows the first half second of eating animation, then stops and repeats, never finishing animation, never consuming food or raising hunger bar. The issue has persisted on his profile, in every world we've tried, including a newly created one, in either his account or in mine, after closing and re-opening, and after restarting minecraft. This applies to every type of food we've tried (potatoes, baked potatoes, cooked lamb).
My character can eat normally, his cannot in any world he plays in. We have created him another profile as a work around, but this does not allow him to play worlds started in his original profile.
