"Pendant" is a preposition that means "during" and "Pendant que" is a conjunction that means "While". It wouldn't make since to say "I speak during I eat" that's why it's "Pendant que" so it's proper speaking - "I speak while I eat"

I speak as I eat, I speak when I eat and I speak while I eat all have exactly the same meaning in English and all are correct. You have to be careful not to create distinctions where there really are none.

"Whereas" is used to indicate a contrast or conflict between two parts of a sentence. "I am studying, whereas she is watching television." Thus, "I speak whereas I eat" does not actually make sense.
