I usually don’t chew.

I don’t really get the point. Most of the time foods are soft enough to just be swallowed. If you take small bites and just swallow them you can eat way faster. Obviously I chew foods that need to be broken up, like celery. But if I’m eating a burger I’ll just take a bite about the size of a half dollar and then swallow.

The other day I was at a small get together and we had mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is super soft and it’s already in small pieces, so there’s literally no reason to chew it. My friends were super weirded out that I wasn’t chewing, one of them said something about eating Mac and cheese like it was applesauce. I get that most people chew, but I don’t understand why they would when the food is practically chewed up for you.
