LOL - I had an experience with this somewhat recently. Someone brought a bunch of Egg McMuffins to work, and I got an emergency call just as I had one bite. I started out the door, thought, "OMIGOSH!!!", went back into the office to finish said McMuffin, then proceeded to the nursing home.
I completely understand eating street fair food while walking - ice cream, hot dogs, meat on a stick, almost anything on a stick - but draw the line at anything that is a potential mess. Funnel cake is okay, but not if there's anything on top of it - sit on a bench or a wall to scarf it down. Same with anything in a takeout container, has to be cut or is just ackward (like pizza). I wouldn't eat fruit while walking, but I wouldn't call someone a social pariah for doing so.
Besides, it looks so tacky - which I imagine comes from "don't eat in front of someone who isn't eating," edict.
