Are you trying to tell me something with that aphorism comment? I 
will try to be more "Aphorismic" in the future, lol!
I also find it hard to admit that the past generations of 
grandmothers whose mantra was "chew your food" knew something after 

all!
In actuality, I don't ever remember anyone with that common sense in 
my family. The mantra my Grandmother used to say, emphatically, was 
just...
"EAT" 
a very, typically Jewish way of approaching food.
As a kid growing up in my home here, mealtimes were less than 
tranquil. It was more like Woody Allens "Take the money and Run" 

where everyone was just raising their voice and yelling at each other 
until any possible good feeling about having food was completely 
obliterated.
I think I need a tranquilizer just remembering those good ol' days :)
