But you probably can eat at your desk or workstation. I doubt that anyone working behind a counter can pull out a brown bag and put it next to the cash register.
Diabetics who don't eat for 8 hours during the day have a nasty habit of falling over.
At some point in my career I have worked at companies with a 'no eating at your desk policy'. For the most part this was largely ignored by middle managers who would rather have people give free overtime by taking their lunch hours at their desks instead of taking the lunch break that was built into the work day. They correctly assumed that the extra work for the janitor making $7 an hour was more than offset by the free work they were getting from the employee making $75-150 per hour.
