Someone is pulling your chain. In some municipalities, they have "distracted driving" ordinances, that can cover those areas if you are not driving responsibly while trying to eat or drink. If it were illegal, they wouldn't have drive-thru restaurants. |

You will not be pulled over for eating a chili dog in Connecticut. But, if you slop the chili in your lap and you get distracted while looking for a wet-nap in your glove compartment and you hit a school bus full of children, then you will be charged. It will not be for eating, but for wreckless driving.
And if they do make it illegal to eat and drive, I feel sorry for Dunkin Donuts, because the loss of police business alone would bankrupt them. |

In California it is, so you need to ask a law enforcement official or lawyer to find out for sure in your state.
Have you researched the web for your state's traffic laws?

It is illegal to do anything that distracts you from driving, while driving. |

Good Question. I think if they are going to make it illegal to drive while holding a cell phone to your ear, they should make it illegal to eat.....
or listen to music or talk to a passenger or drive with kids in the car, or read, or put on makeup, or just about anything else that could cause a distraction |
