Barking at meal-time is a foregone conclusion. Every now and again, I try to put a stop to it by doing pretty much what Sheep of Blue was doing. I usually cave. It's far easier just to move FASTER to feed the dogs than to slow things down and hope for some calm. I'm my own worst enemy! 
But its gotten particularly worse with Indy lately. Whenever Bacca goes off his food (happens once or twice per year), I have to take special care to make sure that Indy doesn't gobble Bacca's food once he's has finished his own bowl. This means standing watch to see if Bacca will eat, and if not, picking up his dish and trying a few minutes later. Bacca will normally eat the 2nd time around, but of course, Indy is now done his and he goes crazy, as if he thinks Bacca is getting 2nds!!!
This just makes him more aggressive all around when it comes to food.
Bacca is mostly back on his food again, so hopefully this problem will die again soon.
