How many bites should you take before you swallow?
usually I'd do one medium bite that will fit in my mouth so I don't choke or chew your food all the way so it will fit down your throat without danger. but if it's a jelly bean my assistant says she can swallow it whole (she is nine) Also one time she gagged herself while brushing her teeth and it looked like she didn't chew her hot dogs too well while they were in her mouth (because when they came out they were in chunks of about 2 cm. long) I'm not kidding!

Why does rice taste so sweet after chewing?
The process of digestion begins in the mouth. As you chew, you release saliva into your mouth. Your saliva begins to convert starches into sugars before the food even gets to your stomach, so the starch in the rice begins to taste sweeter as you chew it. This is also quite apparent if you chew a salty soda cracker for a very long time, the flavor turns sweeter the longer you chew to mix in your saliva and cause the conversion.
How an elephant eats food does it use its long white teeth to eat or does it eat with its trunk?
Elephants breathe through their trunks. An elephant uses its tusks (long white teeth) for defense and as a tool for digging or fighting other elephants. It has other teeth inside its mouth that it uses for chewing food before swallowing. Elephants use their trunks to wrap around limbs, twigs, grasses, and leaves, to tear them off the plant. Then, with their trunk, they stuff the food in their mouth where they chew it up and swallow it.
