On the practical side, I do not think that we need to keep eating with our business partners. There are times that we can do this, but not often. It is not a good thing for a business to keep squandering money on partners and the like. We still need to plan and think twice before dining out with them.
Do we often have to eat meals with business partners?

Having meal with business partners may help to strengthen relationship. But it is not necessary to do that too frequently. Here, it is common for business partners to dine together at the company's anniversary, or during Chinese New Year.
I think that having meals may increase love and understanding between business partners. This is what many people in my country believe. So, i think that it is a great idea to have meals with business partners.
I think a dine out with partners is only great when you have an important meeting. It should not be done so many times that it interferes with company's money. It should also be budgeted on and not done randomly.
I think it depends on the business owners though and your environment. I have seen cases where business partners go for golf playing and from there they talk about business, while there are other cases where everything is done form the office.
I am quite sure that many business partners usually have meals regularly with their partners. Many companies also host dinners and business partners usually have dinner together. There is nothing wrong with that.
I think it is a good thing for people or business partners to always have some occasions together because it is not good for them to work all the time since they are human beings and they need to rest at times
Sure, this is not to be done Everytime as it lead to more expenses spent on unproductive matters which when accumulated may lead to huge amount, sometimes meetings should be done online and not always the physical mode to help save transport and also meals.

I do agree with you. As much as possible, we need to be always wise when dealing with business activities in a company. Overspending needs to be considered at all times.
It is not compulsory to always eat meals with business partner but it is critical to do so sometimes so that you can forge better relationship with your business partners.
It's actually not a bad idea to have a meal with business partners but the frequency of doing it must be regulated. Dining out with partners can be the Best venue to discuss issues relative to the status of the business in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
