Bite monitor counts your chews

We’re all probably guilty of not chewing our food slowly as high pressure and lack of time means we wolf things down. This can lead to fun stuff like flatulence, bloating and weight gain as you’re not aware you’re full. I don’t think I could bring myself to wear this electric bite count monitor though, as it looks like a medieval torture device.

It hails from Japan and beeps every 30 bites, so you know you’re eating at the correct speed, and every 1000 bites you get a melody. Well, extreme dieters might love it, but I’d have to pass.
