Why can't you breathe and swallow at the same time?

You have two different pipes--one to the stomach, one to the lungs. It's bad for food to go into the lungs, so when you breathe, the opening to the stomach closes. When you swallow, the opening to the lungs closes. Of course, when you swallow, you often swallow small amounts of air (hence, burps), but that won't cause as many problems as when you get foods or liquids in your lungs (what we often call "swallowing the wrong way"--it causes discomfort and coughing as the lungs try to expel the food or liquid).
