this is interesting. my mother HATES this and would curse our souls when we were younger. I'm sure if i did it around her now, shed be upset.
i have no problem with it but im trying to stop, as i imagine its not really attractive. plus, it doesnt really help the fat girl's case if she's scarfing a sandwich down on the go.
at the same time, i suppose it depends on what type of food. i figure a candy bar/ice cream cone/can of soda is no big deal. but burgers, fries, burritos, wraps... then there's room for people to feel some kinda way.
what about on public transit? I know DC's metro has a strict food/drink policy but you could probably eat a 3-course meal on NYC transit and no one would bat an eye.

I used to live on Miami transit and yeah, they have a no food/beverage policy. Often, my only chance to eat was while traveling on my 2 hour commute (each way) to and from school. I've taken everything from a cereal bar and carton of milk to a Tupperware container with last night's leftovers, dessert and a drink. I've eaten to-go food from a restaurant on the bus but I quit doing that when people starting coming up to me asking for money or food.
As for the original question, I'd rather sit and enjoy a home cooked meal with family and friends than walking around eating some sort of fast food concoction.

I don't mind eating while walking but I try not to because I'm painfully clumsy. I can't even eat sitting down without accidentally dropping food or drink on my clothes or even flinging it across the room while gesturing.
I also run into walls, drop things on my feet, close my fingers in drawers, etc. My problem is that I'm usually lost in deep thought and I lose coordination and fine motor skills.
Walking and eating at the same time would probably be hazardous to those around me.

It's funny you brought up your mom because that's exactly what I was thinking about regarding this question. Maybe my response is a little "off" considering it isn't about food, but my mom always had a thing about WOMEN smoking while walking or dancing out on the dance floor with an alcoholic beverage in their hands. My mom always said it looked trashy. She smokes (I don't) and she also drinks. She just feels that being mobile while smoking or drinking is unclassy of women.

Ooohhh I hate when people brink their drinks onto the dance floor. Either they're too drunk and sloppy, or really sucky dancers, to notice that they are spilling all over the place. Sticky shoes or wet feet...ick.
