Do you ever standing and eat?

Hello vinguan06 this is checkmail and me too was just eating my short lunch and lunch in school mostly standing in the canteens.But eating in a standing position seems not ot be good for our health, its better when we sit and eat.Today also when attend some functions like marriages , birthdays, celebration, we have to eat food standing as there is large crowd gathered and most of the sitting arrangements are occupied and also geting late to return home.

Yes, I experienced it before. I went to a casino here in my country and they are giving free drinks and sell food. They only provide a long high table to put your drinks and food and you can stand there and eat. They do have cafe with chairs and tables but it is quite far.

The city where we lives have a lot of "Self Service" hotels. There will not be any seating arrangements in most of the hotels. So as the name indicates we have to pay in advance and get the food from the kitchen counter. There will be tables to keep the food and we can have it standing. So Standing and eating is a routine here in this part of the world. I have no idea whether it is good or bad to stand and eat.

Yea... I remember when I was at school, the canteen was small so it was always packed, me and the girls just stood at the counter and ate. We didn't think that was a big deal as long as we had place to eat.

I do stand and eat. I remembered being in Germany and we wanted something fast to eat. I bought the sandwiches and all they have are tall standing tables with no stools. It is a norm for them there. Just a table for you to put your food and stand there and eat it and leave.

Yes, I do when ever I am home or in the Mall where they are stalls there and tables but no chairs. i prefer to stand because it allows my food to go all way down..

I always sit down when I eat, because I have really poor balance, and unless I'm holding onto my cane, or something else, I'm liable to fall over. I think it's safer to sit and eat, because if someone were to knock me over while I was standing, I might choke on whatever I was eating.

Well, it's not recommended to eat while standing, because you will tend to eat faster, and also likely to choose snacks which are easy and fast to eat. Well, it is recommended that we sit down and eat, so that we can eat slower and chew our food properly (for better digestion). I will say that I did also stand and eat before during recess time when I couldn't find a seat too. Even when I graduate from school and goes to the society to work, there are times where I had to stand and eat too. Some of the eating places do only have high tables and no seats. For these places, you had to eat while standing too.

Dear vingyan06, 20 Years Ago Yes, most of us during school time, we used to stand and eat at the same time. Queue to buy food, quickly eat while standing.... BUT if I bought a bowl of noodle soup, then I will try my best to locate for a place to sit! 20 Over Years Later, (NOW) Different Location, Same Style still standing and eating especially at some buffet area...normally at those happening places, where the crowds is more than the seating place! Even thos AGMs I went, also sometimes have to stand, especially Sunway Resort, it's light hi-tea..finger food, etc, standing style! But if you asked me, I prefer round table sitting down dining, if fine dining...better still,..lol

vingyan06, yes we used to stand and eat during our school time, however now, I don't practise that any more. Standing while eating is not a good practise, and it's not good for our digestive system too. I will prefer to sit down and eat, or else I will try to avoid that.. well, sometimes, we can't help it, as sometimes certain stall food, we have to stand and eat, as there is no seating available.

When i was at high school for fun sometimes i just ate while i was walking with my friends . It was really cool . i don't care standing and eating sometimes . But it will be very tired if you stand to eat for a long time . Therefore you cann't enjoy the meal very much .

I've even been running and eating. In our college, juniors and sophomores are forced to take morning exercise, so we have to eat breakfast when running, half asleep. I konw it's bad to our health, but i've no choice because of this disgusting rule and the crowded canteen. After all, i've gone through this, still being healthy and sound.

Some canteens in the railway stations don't have seats. So when I am travelling, I often stand and eat

Yes I will stand and eat if there are no available seats around me, I think it is a natural thing a person does if there is nothing available within their view. :]

hello vingyan06, Yes, it's just fine if I will stand while eating. But it's more comfortable if I will seat so I can eat properly. Attending a party is the place where I do stand while eating. Makes me uncomfortable for you don't know where to put your drinks, desserts and the likes. But it's just fine, I can adjust.

I don't like standing and eating I find it uncomfortable. I think I also heard its not healthly for you. Why I don't know but I read that somewhere.

yes, i think it is very common to stand & eat especially when you're outside of your home.

Now i often stand to eat in my house when some cousins came to eat at my house.I like to stand eating because i like fast eating.Sometime i believe the standed eating helps me reduce fat in my stomach too.

When I am in a hurry or rushing out the door and don't have time to sit down and eat I tend to stand up or walk while eating. The only other experience I can recall is when I am in crowded places like you mentioned and cant sit down.

If I am home, I will definitely not eat while I'm standing. I will feel a bit uncomfortable about it. If I'm going through a rush hour, then for sure I will.
