There is a greater risk of dropping food where you don't want to be, if you eat lying down. If you are sitting up, you can see your food, and also eat it at a table. Even if you do drop some food it will land back on the plate, or at least on the table, which is much better than having it land on your bed and cause stains in your bedding or mattress, which are difficult to clean. Lying down, with a bowl of food balanced on your stomach, you can't really see the food very well, and you are more likely to drop it in the process of getting it to your mouth. It is also true that swallowing is easier in an upright position.
