We also have a tongue. We use our teeth to bite and chew and we use our tongue and palate to swallow. As we swallow food travels down our throat and esophagus to get to the stomach. In the stomach the food is broken down during the process of digestion. Then the food moves on the small intestines where food is broken down even more before it moves on to the large intestine. Food moves through the large intestine to the end where you find the anus. It is from here that the food material that was not be broken down or digested is removed from the body.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s look at some words you can use to talk about eating:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to dine \u2013 to eat, specifically to eat dinner<\/p>\n<p>Example: What time are we going to dine tonight?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to devour \u2013 to eat quickly due to hunger<\/p>\n<p>Example: After his 10 mile run, Ben devoured his lunch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to munch \u2013 to eat something continuously or over a period of time<\/p>\n<p>Example: Sally munched on chips all afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to nibble \u2013 to take small bites of something<\/p>\n<p>Example: Ezra took a nibble of his dinner and said he didn\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to nosh \u2013 to eat enthusiastically<\/p>\n<p>Example: Everyone is here, it is time to nosh!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to scarf (to scarf down) \u2013 to eat something hungrily<\/p>\n<p>Example: I scarfed down the last piece of cake before anyone else could get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/04\/mouth-350x228.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/04\/mouth-350x228.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2013\/04\/mouth.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>Check out this video entitled \u2018How animals eat their food\u2019, that I sure hope makes you laugh or at least puts a smile on your face.
