Eh, Chicago public transit "bans" food, but it doesnt stop anyone. Unless they have a food cop on every train car, it will continue. If you ask me, the woman that was complaining asked for it. Calling a stranger an animal, you're bound to get some backlash. I personally am opposed to people eating meals on the train, but a snack or something, OK.

Everyone should just follow the rule of thumb: if it has an odor, don't eat it on the train.

Amusing factoid. Durian is banned on some asian subways.

It's not something I do, I don't consider it 'that' big a deal though. I don't mind being referred to as an animal in the least, but in the 'way' that woman see's saying that, I wouldn't like that much. Bit OTT imo.

I think it's pretty obvious but no one was right in this video. The older lady shouldn't have said anything unless she was prepared for some kind of altercation and if she was and did so anyway she's an idiot. The two younger girls are idiots because of the way they handled the situation. They looked more than old enough to handle the situation with some kind of tact but failed miserably. I'm not saying the older lady didn't egg them on but instead of actually acting like animals they could have ignored it or kept it verbal. I see kids like that ALL THE TIME so I'm definitely a little biased but that doesn't change the fact that the actions of both parties is worth more than a few facepalms.

Food seems to be another one of those triggers that causes people to act out of character. You start messing with people and their food, all bets are off.

Long commutes/little time = opportunities for reading or eating.

Many (or most) foods have odors that develop after eating.

What about a plane? More than once I have brought fried chicken on an airplane, and it is totally awesome to look at people all excited about the yummy smell of fried chicken. Then to watch them get all ticked off when they realize it is not a special treat from the airline for this flight, just me up in first class chowing down on MY friend chicken.
