I think that the arguments against feeding while in shed are as follows:

1. Your snake may be off feed and will ignore the food (common in many snakes)

2. Your animal may not be able to clearly see the food and may become stressed

3. If they take a large meal they can actually find it hard to shed over the belly bulge.

I have snakes that will not feed in shed and snakes that still do. I just think I'd stay away from live food and large food.

Having said that, they are usually only in "Blue" for a week or less, so it's easier to skip the meal until after the shed.
