I find #2 and #5 to be silly on the grounds that no one should be eating in the workspace to start with.
The latter is particularly unworkable for the obvious reason that the notion of what's good and bad in food smell is largely a cultural/invidual taste.
Though, it might be amusing to watch three people complain about the smell of each others nuoc mam, curried chicken and microwave popcorn while the local vegans dash for the exits.
Also, I think all these gripes pale in comparison to my own experience with 3 people hopping on the same conference call, each with their phone on speaker, in the same room.

So long as you're respectful of others I don't see what the problem is. When I'm eating by myself at my computer, whether at home or a coworking space. Otherwise it's wasted time. I either get work done, clear out email, or do distracting things like reading HN instead of doing it when I should be working.

It's really about paying attention and giving deference to the people around you. I don't see why I'd want to worry about an infinite combination of sound, smell and individual taste when I can solve the entire thing with "eat anywhere you want, except here".
- rhizome 14y agoAt a company I worked with a year ago, I got a distinct vibe about eating at my desk. I don't think my food was necessarily stinky, but maybe.
