Gastropods obtain food by crawling around and looking for it. When they find it, they use their radula (sharp teeth-like structures that rotate) to scrape food off of things. For example, if a gastropod finds some algae on a rock, they will use radula to scrape the algae off the rock. Gastropods do not chew they scrape things off and digest it.
