LOL when my dad and I were in Paris we had the Parisienne "Lunch on the go" one day with sandwiches and a coke - I was fine, enjoying the view, and loving it. My dad stopped on every single bench.
We ended up eating any "to go" lunch on a park bench from then on.
As far as eating while walking in the States, I would say that less messy things, such as a candy bar (with the wrapper ending up in the proper receptacle), ice cream, etc. is acceptable all the time. Messier items (corn on the cob, in the husk? Delicious!) are only acceptable at Taste of Chicago, with plenty of napkins in the back pocket. I would not try a sandwich like we had in Paris here.
Eating on public transit? NEVER ACCEPTABLE. EVER. A. People don't want to smell your shitty-assed casserole when they're trying to go to/from work, B. people don't want to smell LIKE your shitty assed casserole when they get to work, C. WHY ARE YOU EATING WITH YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU ARE TOUCHING THINGS THAT THAT GUY OVER THERE WIPED HIS BOOGERS ON?!?!?! Wash your hands first, people! (Even just a wet-nap will do in a pinch).
