It's the stressful environment of the airport fast food restaurants (if you can call them that) that I try and avoid, complete with the screaming kids and people making messes all over.
Maybe lounges could consider having official rules along the lines of "No food with prominent smells that may be disturbing to others allowed," and "If you bring food items into the lounge, please clean up after yourself and throw used wrappers into the waste receptacles," (in case that's not already obvious to do).
They might even save $ on starving travelers eating too much cheese and crackers and nuts!
