We can feel satiety with smaller amount food by chewing well. Currently, there are a lot of kinds of fast food includes some factors of becoming fat body and it is easy to eat without chewing well.

Please teach your children to eat with chewing well. Your children will be able to enjoy eating verity food with a developed sense of taste!!
