This day while dining at " Panagatan Restaurant " with my siblings, and while waiting for the additional meals, I stood up to look at the wide ocean. This restaurant is so famous in Opol,Misamis Oriental.It is erected at the middle of the sea.It is a very nice restaurant but the price is not so right,lol. It's my niece and her hubby who have just arrived from London who paid all.There are many diners this day.
While I was feeling delighted while watching the calm and blue sea, my eyes shifted to the other side of the restaurant. I saw a foreigner, maybe American or Australian chewing and chewing. I wondered what he chewed. I think that foreigner was in his early 70's. With him his Filipina wife and some siblings of his wife's side. I forgot that issue of chewing for few seconds. Then I looked back at their table.I noticed that the foreigner continued chewing. I was so intrigued for it was almost 1 hour that he chewed. We were almost true eating and asking for the bill, when that guy continued chewing. My eyes focused on him, then I realized that he chewed nothing , but he is chewing. I also noticed he no longer has teeth. Was having teeth less , the reason of his continuous chewing? Can't this be stopped? I am so confused. I could still imagine him chewing.
Can you tell me the reasons Mr. and Miss Nurses, Medics and other related health fields to answer my query.

Perhaps it is a nervous reaction, even if there is no food, it is just a habit, and he is feeling to see where his teeth went.

@cacay1 I tend to agree it is either nervousness or a very bad habit

Isn't that dangerous? With all that involuntary chewing he might end up chewing the lower part of his face just kidding and trying to be funny, I'm simply bored and it's so hot.

Could be he was chewing that much because he had no teeth. Anyway, I couldn't watch anyone chewing whether they were young or old or had teeth or not.. Why was this guy so fascinating to you?
