MM swallow an apple in 30 seconds and finishes his dinner in 3 minutes. I have been trying to slowing him down without much success. Let's see if he does anything different after seeing this graph (Treehugger).
P.S. "According to Gail Civille, in the past Americans typically chewed a mouthful of food as many as twenty-five times before it was ready to be swallowed; now the average American chews only ten times." (Marginal Revolution)
Update: Economic growth: justification for eating fast (NYT)?

There are obviously many other factors involved in the national level of obesity. Otherwise why the massive spread of results (what is the difference between Norway and UK for example). BTW what do they do in Turkey for almost three hours a day eating?
I agree there are many other factors: correlation does not prove causation.
I know nothing about Turkish culture. But if there are like Chinese, their social life probably involve dinner tables.
