Throwing a shoe is just a great move in the situation, completely logical imo, and from what I've heard supposedly extra insulting in some cultures. If you are referring to the Bush shoe-throwing incident. Eating a flag just seems bad for your body and gives a weird impression as a symbolic act in my view.
