Most I know eat or munch something while watching TV, while some of my friends eat whether junkfood or real food, drink coffee or soda while using the computer. I have seen people using the computer in an internet cafe and having their snacks at the same time.
I don't eat while using the computer but sometimes I have something to drink beside me and most of the time I get up to drink water or soda then back to the computer.
How about you? Isn't it that the computer keyboard has more bacteria than...?

It's not so much the bacteria that I'm concerned about. I don't put food or drinks near my computer because I'm more worried about short circuits should they get spilled on my computer system. Or of hard-to-detect damages like mice or bugs eating away at my system's cables or parts while getting those food bits.

you are really a mind reader! right now i am taking my dinner while being on mylot, and i just saw this topic!
well, it's not good to eat while we working on the computer, especially in the internet cafe where anyone used the computer already. it's the best way to share bacteria each other and invite diseases into our body.
apart from that, it's advised that we are to eat with focused mind and without doing other activities. you might ever experience that when your mind was wandering during eating, you accidentally bit you mouth.
when we eat, it's good to stay in good mood. otherwise our digestion won't process the food well and we won't get the optimal benefits of the food we eat.

Well, it depends on your immune system how scared you are about the keyboard. I'm the only person who uses the computer at my place and I do all my activities around the computer. So I keep working on the keyboard all the time. And I haven't fallen sick till now. As far as cyber cafes are concerned, here in India, there are very few such places which allow the users to have eatables during their sessions. But I have my lunch breakfast dinner at the computer table..
