If they are truly saying "meshi meshi," "eat" then it doesn't concern me, but why talk about eating so much?
And why is this phrase always accompanied by a fit of giggles?

I don't know where you're from, but I'd say a nontrivial number of American children know of at least one linguistic connection between "eating" and sex by the time they enter high school.
I'm really surprised to hear someone who is an English teacher not
immediately think of this same thing when questioning why someone giggles at "do you and your boyfriend
eat every night?"
I'm not making any comment about the "Japanese" though. みしみし strikes me as pretty meaningless. American kids obsessed with anime do the exact same thing (spout gibberish as if it meant something). I'd suspect there are a lot of Chinese kids who might do this, too.
