Eating At the Table -- Yes or No?

[EasilyFound]

I don't allow it when I host. People had been showing up with burritos, pizza, sausage subs, and eating them at the table while playing cards. No more. I also don't allow eating at the table of anything that is greasy, like potato chips. I don't mind pretzels, but anything that gets your hands dirty, I don't want at the table. I like to keep my table, chips, and cards, clean of that stuff.

Am I being reasonable or not?

No. Who cares. people don't have to eat and play at the same time.

You're hosting, aren't you? Besides that you already made your decision so I'm not sure what any of our opinions would matter. I guess just schedule a few breaks and things will be fine.

I love it when people eat at the table!
It's much easier to play against them!
They wouldn't bother to play mediocre hands, so if they are in, you know they have a monster!

Of course no food at table!
It's much harder to play against eaters!
They won't bother playing mediocre hands, so their main leak of being too loose is corrected!

No eating at a home game? Pfft. Definitely retarded.

Really depends what they're eating imo. If they're eating chips or similar, I always ask them to put some towel next to them to clean their hands (or to go wash their hands) when they have to touch any cards because I don't want them to get dirty after one evening of play.
Other stuff - like most candy in general - isn't a problem. Bigger stuff - like pizza, kebab, etc. - I always nicely ask them to eat it first, and then continu playing. Never had a problem with it.

I don't like it, but I allow it.

I especially don't like jerk offs handling my sweet chips with their greasy fingers.
