Ok those Stauffer's Whales crackers things .. they are kind of like Goldfish crackers but smoother texture or w.e than the Goldfish .. I love them!!! But for some unknown reason I don't chew them when I eat em .. I just swallow each cracker whole. I kno its really weird but I love the feeling of the Whales sliding down my throat. & I've tried to chew them first & they just aren't good that way. But I eat maybe two packs [servings] of these daily. Today I told my mom how I ate them b.c we were talking about Whales & she was like "that could really screw up your digestive system!!!" I didn't even think my weird way of eating those could be unhealthy!!! I've been doing this for like .. 6 months to a year & nothing bad has happened .. is this really harmful ??

i doubt if it will harm you, put a cracker in in some water in a glass and see how long it takes to disolve it, i dont think that would do any dammage as your stomach acid is much stronger than water or even coke. and coke will eat up a nail.

I shouldn't do any harm, it merely makes digesting them a little more tricky, but not that much as the stomach mushes things up anyways. And the whales mush up fairly easily.
The main concern is getting choked.
I like the way certain things feel in the throat, like parsley or ice, so I know a little about what you mean.

I do not actually know this answer. I dont think it would mess anything up. I just think your mom meant that since u dont break up the food by chewing it first that your digestive system has to do more work to break that food up. But dont quote me, I do not think it is harmful however.

do you have 7-9 servings of end result and vegetables an afternoon? No do you have extra then a million cup of caffine (espresso, pop..and so on) an afternoon? No except on a definite occasion. Do you consume extra junk foodstuff then you certainly ought to? confident are you at a healthy weight? confident What could you prefer to alter or strengthen on your ingesting conduct? confident

I don't know if it would really be bad for the digestive system because the hydrochloric acid would take care of them. I would think you should worry more about choking when you don't chew them.

No....it's just weird, kinda like me....i must have a plastic spoon to eat certain things like yogurt or pudding. To each his/her own. Keep on swallowing you 'whales' just make sure you or someone around you knows what to do if you happen to choke.
