Food Trivia

A Victorian era nutritionist nicknamed the "Great Masticator" argued that food should be chewed about 100 times per minute before being swallowed.

Food Joke

If there were no food left, what could people do? Country people could eat their forest preserves and city people could have their traffic jams.
