For humans, an important part of showing they care for each other, is demonstrating it with actions and not just words. They like food as much as we do, and some humans are pretty chatty when they eat. If you can't be there for your partner in all the ways you want to be, you can at least show him you're there at all and trying to do your best to help him. It's a small way and might seem silly, but it certainly can't hurt.
