No wonder I think this guy is odious in so many ways.

Never have been a gum chewer thought people look like cows chewing cud. In my high school chewing gum was forbidden. The one time I chewed gum and was not experienced in hiding it which was offered to me by a popular girl I got caught and had to scrape the gum under the seats in the audoriturm of our school. I was gagging and it was so awful I never chewed gum again. I stopped dating a guy who was a major gum chewer. It was a deal breaker to me.

This is how I remember hearing it--

The gum-chewing student and the cud-chewing cow
Look very alike, but they're different somehow.
And what is the difference? Ah, I see it now.
It's the clear thoughtful look on the face of the cow.


I gave up gum when I had braces.

Chewing gum just makes me hungry. Plus, even gum that is not labelled as "sugar-free" usually has Aspartame or some other hideous sugar substitute in it. Aspartame is a known potent neurotoxin, which should be avoided.

Neurotoxins mess with the brain--hmmm.

It's a sugar alcohol that creates the sweet taste of some vegetables like carrots. It fights tooth decay, but it's also toxic to dogs.
