Wait after eating - how long?

When I was a kid, I was taught to wait an hour after eating before swimming or I would get cramps. That's regarded now as a myth.

Somewhere along in my musical education, I heard similar advice about playing the clarinet. Cramps were not part of it, but allowing for digestion was.

I don't remember where I heard this, and it might have been so inauthentic a source as my own self. So, I always wait an hour after eating before playing clarinet.

What do others do, or think about this?
