You cannot reasonably require someone to work that long without eating or drinking. An OSHA complaint would not be inappropriate here. Of course, I understand that you and/or your wife don't want to go there right now.
But you can't go all day without any food or drink. That's nuts. Any functional human in HR should be able to understand that, and come to some sort of accommodation. I also understand that not all companies have functional humans in HR.
Good luck.
