If I comment to much, sorry folks, it’s just that I have brainstorms, sometimes funny, about certain Garfield comics, I just can’t help myself … MY BAD ?
It’s like “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?” We will never know! But it’s surely, not going to be 32. Not with Garfield around anyway.
This sounded familiar, so I looked it up. Fortunately, I was never expected to Fletcherize my food!
The 32 times figure comes a self-proclaimed expert on diet in the later 1800’s named Horace Fletcher. Without an ounce of scientific training, he conducted experiments which proved, to him at least, the importance of thorough mastication. He was so into chewing that he became known as the”Great Masticator” and those who followed his recommendations were said to be “fletcherizing.” And people certainly followed his advice, among them John D. Rockefeller, Upton Sinclair, Henry James and brother William James, Franz Kafka, and President Theodore Roosevelt.

If Garfield entered a food eating contest, he’d win paws down.

Stop chewing Jon, just gulp it down, be like Garfield.
Is it any wonder WHY, you don’t get to eat your food before Garfield does ?

Garfield doesn’t believe in chewing 32 times. And also, Jon, I thought you knew your own cat better than this.

Garfield probably can’t bite off more than he can chew, and if he did he would chew it anyway.

“32 times”
One chew for each tooth?
Does that mean that if you lose a couple of teeth, you don’t have to chew as long?
