During the 19th century, a diet called “Fletcherism” became popular. Introduced by American Horace Fletcher (“the Great Masticator”), the diet promoted chewing a mouthful of food at least 32 times or until it was turned into liquid.

Crockpot/Slow Cooker Don’t Do’s
Distribute your layers carefully: The bottom of the crock pot is the hottest part, so things that take a long time to cook (like carrots and parsnip) should always form the base. Another way to ensure that everything cooks evenly is to cut ingredients in even sizes.

Weird Phobias
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/29-weird-phobias-that-really-do-exist/ss-BB1gjp5X?ocid=msnews
“A phobia consists of a persistent fear or avoidance of a specific stimulus,” says Kate Wolitzky-Taylor, PhD, an associate faculty member with the Anxiety and Depression Research Center at UCLA. “Usually the stimulus is a thing or a situation—like bees or heights.” But there’s a second component to phobias. “In addition, the fear causes significant distress or somehow impairs the person’s life,” Wolitzky-Taylor says.
