But chewing is just one of the many phases of digesting food. What about swallowing, digesting stuff in the stomach, functioning of liver, pancreas, spleen. Small intestines, large intestines.

Surely you can't chew gum to keep these organs functioning.

How?

Soylent is all liquid. Pretty much everything I eat is semi solid.
