Who doesn't?
Mastication or chewing is the process by which food is mashed and crushed by teeth. It is the first step of digestion and it increases the surface area of foods to allow more efficient break down by enzymes. During the mastication process, the food is positioned between the teeth for grinding by the cheek and tongue. As chewing continues, the food is made softer and warmer, and the enzymes in saliva begin to break down carbohydrates in the food. After chewing, the food (now called a bolus) is swallowed. It enters the esophagus and continues on to the stomach, where the next step of digestion occurs.

At lease 28 times before swallowing

I sure do. Masticating is very enjoyable- especially if it's something I really like such as cheese cake or chocolate.
Masticate: To chew (food).
To grind and knead (rubber, for example) into a pulp.

It's only healthy if you masticate a lot before you swallow.. Helps the digestive system..

Absolutely!! It's so enjoyable. :-) My fiance didn't masticate enough yesterday. He chocked. :-( He's okay though.

Constantly. Particularly with carrots.

Only if it's solid food. Soup doesn't need to be masticated.
