Why do most of the people eat very fast even though they have time . I have seen my friends doing so. Eating fast is not a healthier habit. I am used to eat slowly, so that i taste and digest the food properly. What type of eater you are

Yes I try to eat slowly to appreciate the taste of the food, however I know people who swallow their food so fast I say to them did you even taste the food. I think its really bad for your digestive system to eat that fast. Slow down and enjoy the taste of the food on your tongue.

well im a fast eater and i eat a lot . actually the people u r taking about do not chew their food properly and just intake it as a whole with water, but i chew my food first then intake it . that is not at all unhealthy. besides i always have to eat fast because i eat too much , no im not fat at all , but i eat too much , so i have too keep my pase with others too , or else i will be left alone .

Actually chewing or not, it is still unhealthy to eat too fast. Eating fast (even with proper chewing) can create a host of digestive tract problems.

I eat fast. Its not a conscious thing, its just a habit I guess. Food is put down I eat it quickly. I've been working on slowing down, but often if I am not concentrating on the speed I am consuming food I will gobble it up before I know it.

I think it becomes a habit. I used to do that at work so that I would have time to go and walk somewhere and stay within my lunch hour. I know for me it got to where I would eat in 15 minutes and rush to do something else. It is hard to break that habit.

I am a fast eater too as in today's world nobody has so much of a leisure time eating. But if sometimes i am free or in a party invitee, i like to eat my favourite stuff slowly and take the taste of it while eating it.
