you’re supposed to chew 30 times, but who has time for that

Because the undigested corn kernel husks are filled with poop.
TIL I’m corn because I’m full of shit
Well, you’re certainly not a logician

Most people dont chew more than 2-3 times so its kinda expected that stuff goes down unchewed

Disclaimer, I have dysphagia, so this isn’t meant to be the average person’s experience, but… I was eating when I read this and counted how many times I chewed when I took a bite until I felt comfortable swallowing and it was 47. You’re telling me normal people can chew as low as 2 times? Astounding.
- DeaDvey ( @DeaDvey@lemmy.ml ) 1•13 hours ago
Is this bad? Maybe I have it because I’m similar.
- Sombyr ( @Sombyr@lemmy.zip ) 1•10 hours ago
Fortunately, I think you’d probably notice if you did. Makes it hella hard to swallow stuff unless you pulverize it to a paste. In my case, some days I can’t even swallow things as simple as applesauce and have to just drink high calorie liquids.
Edit: After seeing the rest of your comments in this thread… Yeah, sounds like dysphagia. Dysphagia is a symptom though, not the condition itself. If you’ve got it, something deeper is wrong. In my case it’s likely nerve damage and allergies together.

I’m in the zero to ten camp for most foods, but right there with you at 47 for fatty meat of any kind. It feels disgusting in my mouth and to swallow it without gagging I need to basically cut it up with my incisors into smaller and smaller pieces until the texture disappears.
- Swedneck ( @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•21 hours ago
i think i generally chew maybe… 6-10 times? but depending on the food i can either chew a lot more or a lot less, soft foods like well-boiled spaghetti just don’t really make sense to our brains and so we don’t chew properly.
- unexposedhazard ( @unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•21 hours ago
I mean it depends on what you eat ofcourse. Its just a linear change between soup(0) and crackers(idk maybe 10).
Like a mouthful Spaghetti doesnt need too much like maybe 4-5 times for me, but i have seen plenty of people who almost swallow pasta unchewed. Something like meat or carrots or whatever needs some more to get it to a small enough size to swallow and it just keeps going up with size, hardness and dryness.
- MachineFab812 ( @MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de ) 22•2 days ago
I compulsively chew at least 11 times in a vain attempt to diminish my obesity. My lack of a sizable beer gut(versus most of my peers) shows promise, nevermind that I basically don’t drink, but I assure you, the corn does not care.
- DeaDvey ( @DeaDvey@lemmy.ml ) 4•2 days ago
Is this true? I chew for a few minutes before swallowing normally, find it difficult to swallow otherwise.
- sunbather ( @sunbather@beehaw.org ) 4•1 day ago
afaik its more based on time than number of chews, food generally spends about 10-20 seconds in your mouth if you aren’t in a rush but it depends on the food and individual

Cornshells are tough AF and we’re shit at chewing.
- flicker ( @flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English8•2 days ago
I’m allergic to corn, so I don’t know if this is true, but if I pooped a food that was still whole I’d consider not eating it again.
- Duranie ( @Duranie@literature.cafe ) 14•2 days ago
The outside of the kernel is very fibrous, so when chewing it’s less about breaking down the outside and more like popping the insides out of its skin. We need all kinds of fiber in our diets, so the outside of the corn kernels passing through is just fine.
