44. Nothing. It's the enforcement that I have a problem with.
A kid can make an honest mistake. You get some french fries for later, you smell them, you eat one absent-mindedly. Hell, I could see myself doing that and I'm 34. What about a breath mint? Does that count? I would think that breath mints wouldn't be considered food, but maybe I'm wrong. See there - honest mistake.

I think a cop coming over and saying "Hey -- no eating on the train" would suffice. Handcuffing her? You can't possibly live in America and think that the crime fits the punishment. It's a french fry.

I really can't believe I'm having this discussion on this board. Next time you absent-mindedly step into an intersection before the "Walk" sign comes on, I hope they cart you off to Guantanamo Bay.
