I eat 99.9% of my meals standing. I've done this for more years than I can remember. Is that unhealthy in some way?

You do this even when you go out and eat at a restaurant?

Restaurant?.....hmmm?

Oh, yeah. I remember those from my youth. You walk in and people bring you food.
I have five kids and work for an auto supplier. I don't have money for restaurants and bass boats.:p

You must be really skinny, I found research a while back that stated eating standing up is the best and fastest way for food to move through the body. I figure it should be better for you. :\ Don't quote me on that though.

Food moves through the alimentary canal by peristalsis, not gravity, so it should not make a difference.

ah yes, I remember those days. (I was raised the oldest of 5) Went out to eat 2x a year and put on our Sunday best. Nothing was too fancy for Pizza Hut.

Maybe you stand because you are always eating on the run. With 5 kids is their room for you to sit at the table?
