Researchers are saying that the noise of our own eating may be a means we unconsciously use to assess how much we’ve consumed.

Bull…shit!

Don’t know how dafuq he did it, but my Dad (God Bless his soul) could crunch marshmallows.
No shit.
Didn’t want to be around him when he got hold of some buttermilk and stale cornbread …
