I suppose if you're eating, you might be distracted and not fully appreciate the solar eclipse. Other than that, there is no good reason not to eat during a solar eclipse and mere superstition should not get in the way.

Because you'll drown trying to drink with your head pointed up?

Because you'll miss it?

No, really, there is nothing wrong with eating or drinking during an eclipse, except that it will be over in 6 minutes.

No reason not to, old superstition. IMO solar eclipses are quite rare, missing out on seeing one b/c of a meal seems a bit of a waste to me.

Yes, it is. However, it is NOT safe to ever look at the sun during a solar eclipse.
