Are you a fast or slow eater? (taste, natural, serving)

When I eat out, the waitress or waiter is lucky they don't get stabbed by a fork when they collect the plates.

depends what it is...I can eat as fast as a beagle on a hot dog.....but tend to pace myself...… I like to swallow just once...

ive been with women that eat like cats..... approach the food 5 different ways, sniff it.... move it around.... look around …
my god I tried to be polite and not have dessert by the time she was half way thru her entrée....

I usually eat fast just to get it over with. I am definitely not a foodie. However if I'm at a restaurant having a fabulous meal I will eat slowly to savor it.

Same here, I’ve tried but I’m just a fast eater. I think my daughter is the world’s slowest though!

I never gave consideration to this until now, but I do like to eat my hot food while it's hot, and my ice cream before it melts! So I'll say fast.

My husband eats fast and I eat medium/slow. He was an hourly employee in his teen years and I always need to remind him to slow down. He eats as if someone is going to take his food away.

We have friends, who we thankfully don’t see much anymore. The husband starts eating before everyone is at the table, and he stuffs food into his mouth as if he’s never eaten before. Although these friends are loyal to us, the crassness of his eating habits (other things too) make me glad they aren’t close.

People who eat then food too fast and too much tend to have more higher blood presure, heartburn, and acid reflux. You body's digestive system requires food to be broken down chemically for food to pass through your stomach without producing a lot of gas which can cause bloatedness due to indigestion.

I eat faster when I set a luscious piece of cake alongside my meal. Can't wait to gobble the meal down so I can get to the cake!

I've always been a fast eater, something I've been trying to fix. Eating fast tends to make me gain weight since I want to eat more.

I need to enjoy my food more.

I always had to eat fast to get back to work on time. A 30 minute lunch was actually more like 15-20 minutes eating time.

I'm generally a fast eater.
