But I will have to disagree with you and say that Japanese people do say 食事をする sometimes. But like I said before, this is a question for a native since neither of us can really have any authority over questions like this.
I know you didn't. Sorry, I wrote a short sentence before and it must have looked a bit terse. I also typo-ed I've as it's. *facepalm* I should be banned from the internet after 11pm i swear, all my typing skills go to shot.

Anyway I was just trying to add to the discussion, not trying to be all "HERE IS THE ANSWER RAWR!". I'm just saying in my experience it's much more common to see 食事 ~without~ をする than with. Come to it, maybe that's a written thing? Interesting...
