| Isn't chewing supposed to kick start the process of gastric acids being released into the stomach for digesting food? Having those acids kicking about in your stomach without any food in there probably can't do you an awful lot of good?
Idk, I'm no expert on this, maybe the above is wrong. But it'd certainly not hurt to have a few bites of (and to swallow) something to satiate a craving. Besides, spitting food out is a hideous waste, and a horrible symptom of the Western gluttony we have here. Eat it, or don't eat it, but don't waste it. |
