quicko: on the run

I'm not positive on this, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's less taboo for Americans to walk around eating than Australians.  I base this mainly on the fact that I often eat sushi on the run and usually feel slightly out of place.  I see nothing wrong with it, and no one actually looks at me overly sideways, but I don't think I'd feel so askance in America.  Perhaps I'm just paranoid?  Or perhaps I should be feeling worse?

That's weird. I felt the same thing when I went to Europe. I think Australians can eat on the move just fine. Maybe it's something to do with being in a foreign place that makes moving while eating feel weird.

Hmm, maybe. I have had an American friend tell me off for it, so maybe I really shouldn't be. Oh well!! :)

i'll eat on the run anywhere. granted i do see more people eating on the run here in oz then i do when i fly to europe. i've met people who wont even drink on the move though, so there could be something i'm missing. having never been to america i can't comment about there.
