*** I currently feed dogs, cats, and ferrets a raw meat diet, and the only 
chewing they do is to separate pieces small enough to swallow. They do not 
chew things into a paste the way many humans do. I was taught to chew my 
food very thoroughly before swallowing but I am doing my best to overcome 
that conditioning. Wasn't there some weird diet plan that recommended 
chewing every bite 30 times before swallowing?
