Students - How do you do it?

I'm a prof., and I read the Chronicle of Higher Education forums as well as PeerTrainer. One frequent topic of conversation over there is "disrespectful" behavior in class. While some of the things described are worse than disrespectful, eating comes in for a lot of comment by professors.

Personally, I've never thought about it twice. I've had many students who worked straight through lunch in my lab (which is a biohazard zone -- no eating) and if they didn't snack on something in one of their classes they would be going 12 hours between meals. So if a student pulls out the trail mix while I'm lecturing, no big deal. However, it appears that I am seriously in the minority -- most take it as a personal insult.

So for those of you who are full-time undergrads (or med students, for whom I think this is also true), how do you accomplish the several-small-meals-in-a-day recommended for losing weight? Offend your profs? Eat while walking between classes? Specifically schedule your day with time for food?
