Ok... So I eat dinner usually in about 3-5 minutes... Like 2 scoops of rice, some stuff (maybe eggs, beef with beans, etc.)... and that's about it... Parents tell me I have to eat all that food in 10 MINUTES.

So today...
my mom gives me her bowl (1 scoop)... So I just put in some tuna and eggs (not l fried eggs, omelette style)... I eat it in 1 minute... My parents then scold me for eating too fast for 4 minutes... Then they tell me... PICK UP THAT FKIN BANANA NOW... NOW... NOW NOW... I do... They then say 5 MINUTES.... I finish it the slowest I can, 3 minutes...

Am I eating too fast? Does it really do me harm for the way I'm eating food now? Course now they threaten to ban me from my computer... heh.

Update:
Just got scolded again... Now I must eat at the same pace everyone else does... and I may not leave the table until everyone finishes... Along with some other crap...

I really need a punching bag.

lol asian parents are kind of controlling like that, but they are that way because they care.

anyway it's probably better for your digestive system if you take the time to chew food. but i usually gulp food down with water and don't really have a problem yet so...

This is a very simple obstacle, try to solve it on your own, if you must, consult the scientific theory for a procedure to come to a conclusion what the answer is :p

You know how boring it is at my dining table.
No one talks.
If you talk
you get scolded.
Which is why I eat fast.
To avoid being scolded.

Dude, this is just dinner, not rocket science, in any case, it's only 10 minutes of your life, just do whatever it takes

My parents used to tell me that eating fast was bad but then I'd always be the last one eating and them and my brother would be done way before me all the time :confused:

Now I've noticed that I eat pretty fast though, mostly when I'm real hungry.

I chew most food once or twice. People say to chew things like 20-30 times. Bah, I chew just enough so that I can force it down my throat and get on to the next bite.
