No that is not right. Ask your GM to specify exactly what law he is referring to.

NO. A company may not deny a lunch break, and can not allow an employee to skip it, or waive it even with a signed 'agreement'. Take your break, properly document it on time records, and if they retaliate in any way, contact me to discuss your rights and remedies.
