i eat my food for about 10 mins. which i also control my self eating because i don't want to get FAT. The longer you eat the more calories and fats you earn! not only that eating to long is kinda boring because of left behind.

I like to take my time when I am eating. How long it takes me really depends on what I am eating and how much of it there is. The reason I like to take my time eating is because I have always been told that the faster you eat the faster you get hungry and if you eat slow then you get fuller quicker and then won't be as hungry as fast and therefore don't/won't eat as much. I am usually always the last one done in my house and am usually always the only one that isn't as hungry later in the night.

4 minutes? wow that's too fast. i don't think i can have a proper meal (even with just 1 cup of rice) in 4 minutes.

I can't eat really fast. I am one of those that is always last at the table.Maybe 30 to 45 minutes or even longer. It is not intentional but I was taught by my mother to chew carefully so I won't choke.I also have plenty of water or tea during meals because alot of the time I am not really hungry but thirsty that is masking it's self as hunger

How long I eat usually depends on if I am alone when I am eating or if I am eating with other people, or if I am doing something at the same time as eating. If I am just sitting eating alone, I can usually get it done in about 10 minutes. If I am with other people eating then it will usually take me aobut 1/2 hour because there is conversation going on. Sometimes I eat as I work, and this probably takes about 1/2 hour too because I will take a bite, do some work, take another bite, do some work you get the picture.
