I wonder why people make noise while having their food. Can we consider smacking as an eating disorder?
more_vert
An eating disorder?  I think that's taking it a bit too far.  In my culture, smacking is considered bad manners and rude.  It's a noisy way to eat your food, it disturbs the other person trying to eat their food, and no matter how good the food taste, it's really not necessary to eat so loudly!  Don't get me started on talking about "disorders" and "addictions" and "diseases".  I think some unethical people who are medical professionals only call something a "sickness" or an "illness" so that they can make money charging you for the treatment of something you can control with your own will power, on your own.

Personally, I see it as lack of proper training smacking while eating. When I was much younger i had the bad habit of smacking while eating until I was corrected by an elder brother.

I think it is just a bad table manner. They don't need to smack their food. I don't like people that is having noise while eating, because it really disturb me big time. I think this one is a habit.

It is not disorder when a person eat a food and it's  noisy, it's normal I guess, because sometimes I do that too.

Some reasons for why people might embracering or making noise when eating food may include, but are not limited to, being overindulged or enjoying a food item too much, feeling sick or sick of a food, feeling happy or overjoyed, feeling happy or as if the food you are eating is what you desire, and and and and.

I'm not sure we can call this an eating disorder. There are some people who have an issue breathing through their nose and this will affect the way they eat. They are keeping their mouth open so they can get oxygen as they are chewing their food. 

  • Then, on the other hand, they were never taught how to eat correctly at the table. They chew their food with their mouth open and make a horrible noise.
  • There are some people who just put way too much food in their mouth and need to keep their mouth open when they chew up their food. 
  • Some people feel they are starving and just keep their mouth open and stuff the food down.
  • Others will eat so fast and have so much food in their mouth and try talking while eating.
  • Another bad manner is slurping your food or whatever you eat.
There are many bad eating habits and many times people are just in too much of a hurry to sit down and eat correctly, they just don't care.

There are reasons people smack while eating. Some times it is just bad table manners and other time it is due to one problem or the other.

The size of some people's lips is quite smaller than the mouth cavity do so it inevitable for their lips to be parted while the chew causing sounds. The faster It gets, the louder It is. 

Other people have breathing problems such that they breathe with their mouth which has to be open while they chew. 

Missing teeth, loose dentition and jaw deformation can also cause a person to chew awkwardly and make noise while eating.

I have noticed this too, especially for people rushing their food  and without even chewing the food properly.

I wouldn't attribute this to anything other than lack of proper training from maybe childhood on how to eat properly, I don't believe this is  any eating disorder at least I haven't heard or read about such findings.

I believe until people begin to relax and enjoy their food while chewing properly and with the mouth closed we will continue to see people smacking while eating.

The less people talk when eating and limiting the way air get in between the lips to cause vibration which produces noise while one is eating the better it will be to help curb smacking.it can really be an annoying sounds and need to be stopped.

I do not think so. In some Asian countries, creating sounds when eating is a sign that the food is so yummy. It is how they express themselves by being grateful for meals served on the table.

I didn't think it is a disorder. It is a habit of having food. Some people makes noise. It is because they are not taught about the noise what our feel. We can change this habit by controlling the noise.

What? When you're a toddler and child you smack on food until someone tells you to close your mouth while chewing it's not a disorder lol. Some people can't breath when chewing their food with their mouth closed

It is believed that smacking when eating food is a sign of enjoyment. It is also a way for people to express their appreciation for the taste of the food. Smacking can also be a way for people to show that they are enjoying their meal. Some experts believe that the sound of smacking can help to enhance the flavor of the food, as it stimulates the taste buds. However, smacking can be seen as rude and can be annoying for other people. It is best to practice good manners and avoid smacking when eating.

There is many reasons why people might make noise or smack when they eat. Some people might smack themselves in the face with their food in an attempt to record their experience and share it with others who could experience similar issues. Others might smack their food as a punishment for sins. Some might smack themselves in the face in an act of frustration or anger. Finally, some people might smack their food because they are a) annoyed or b) trying to get someone to touch their food so that they can eat with them.

Smacking, the noise you make while eating, is a controversial part of the human dining experience. Some cuisine cultures encourage people to make noise when they eat. It is considered a compliment to the chef,

It's simply or most likely because this is a habit that they grew up involved in therefore they don't feel affected or feel like they are affecting others when they do it

People smack when they eat food due to various reasons, including cultural norms, taste preferences, improper chewing, or medical conditions like dysphagia.
