Secretary Duncan: "Mastication is important"

The HELP Committee has been deadlocked over a clause in the CAP and GOWN Act, which would direct more government funding to helping children masticate their food.

"Mastication is a large part of fighting obesity," Duncan declared.

Studies have shown that less consumption of food is aided by long, slow and steady mastication, and Duncan is convinced that teaching our children how to masticate is important to their overall health and development.
