this is perhaps a little bit too vibrant?

* Add spelling 食事を摂る (摂る)

Regarding obviousness: it’s simple, but many such phrases are not obvious (in English in my experience, you can “take a bath”, “have a bath”, “give someone a bath” (all for bathing), but I wouldn’t say “get a bath” – that means “receive a big ceramic tub” to me). (In English, “take a meal” or “take tea” both are acceptable to me, but sound dreadfully old-fashioned, while “take milk in your tea” sounds normal.)

Also, the issue over the kanji spelling (esp. that it’s often 摂る、 as in related 摂食) makes it seem worth a note.

Very common. Maybe obvious?
