If you could ask Tchazo, he might tell you he got something worse than coal in his stocking. He got a food bowl that is designed to force him to eat more slowly. Why does he need this bowl, you might ask? Well, his default dining style could be labeled as consumption by means of inhalation. His furious eating pace has resulted in many a meal coming right back up. The like-new condition of the food chunks when they come back up is just further evidence that he doesn't chew before he swallows. It is not healthy for him to eat so fast and the throwing up part is a bit gross for all involved.
So we introduced the Brake-fast bowl.
The nubs in the bowl make it harder for him to get to the food. In the few weeks that he has been eating out of it he has learned to smash his face in between the nubs to get the most in each bite. It has slowed him down a little, though. But, even with the brake-fast bowl he still eats his 2 cups of food faster than Jack eats his 1 cup.
I think i need one of those bowls. 0_0
