To properly consume a meal, one must first bite it into chunks.

The smaller the chunks, the more readily it is swallowed and digested.

Should one find one of those chunks too large, and it sticks in one's
throat, the situation is still salvageable, as proper compression of the
chest can cause the piece to be expelled, whereupon it can be chewed
into manageable pieces.

Should an overeager eater choke upon a chunk too large, and continue to
shove more food into his or her mouth, the situation becomes desperate,
as even a large compression will fail to dislodge the stuck morsel, and
the consumer is quite likely to die.

So please, dear children, make sure to chew your food properly, and
should a piece prove troublesome, cease shovelling further food in,
until you have properly dealt with the first.
