Basically, if you are reading or watching TV while eating or drinking, 
whatever the content is, that will be what is charged on your drink or food.

Whatever thought(s) you are in whatever way engaged in, will enter your food 
as you eat it, and your drink as you drink, whether intention is behind it or 
not. The purpose of conscious drinking and eating is to bring about 
intention, make the act explicit, and as well to increase mindfulness, it is 
not a pre-requisite for charging an object. "Charging" is the natural result 
of your being alive in the moment, within whatever grouping of phenomena 
(reading, TV (cough, spit)) is active.
