The epiglottis is a movable flap of tissue attached behind/under the tongue which blocks the entrance to the trachea (windpipe) when food is swallowed, thus protecting the lungs by forcing the food to pass over the trachea and instead go down the esophagus into the stomach.
On another hand, talking while eating is not the most attractive habit. No one wants to see chewed-up food!
You can, but since you are using the same orifice for both activities, it will be a sloppy garbled mess. Chew, swallow, then speak and for gawds sake close your mouth when you chew.
You can eat and talk at the same time, but to a limited extent. First it is considered bad manners to talk and eat at the same time because it's disgusting to see food being chewed and processed in someones mouth. Second because obviously the food takes up space within the mouth making it difficult or even impossible to enunciate or pronounce certain words, sounds, or letters correctly. And lastly there is always the ever painful biting of one's tongue or inside of one's cheek while attempting to do so.
If you talk or laugh while eating since your talking or laughing your trachea opens so that you can make sound and if you swallow something it will go down your trachea and you will choke.
you would choke and die. The food you eat would enter the wrong passageway, through the bronchiole tubes and not the esophagus. Causing death.

The short answer is : the epiglottis is a movable flap of tissue attached behind/under the tongue which blocks the entrance to the trachea. There is also a sound box called Larynx which sends out vibrations when we talk and due to this vibrations the flap opens and sometimes food goes inside and we start coughing. If you talk while eating, and you happen to be a toddler, your Mum will tell you off. If you talk while eating, and you are older than that, people may think you are a bit of a pig.....
People can talk while they are eating, but not when they have food in their mouth. Just ask them politely not to talk with their mouthful. That's it.
When eating a meal yes, but don't talk while there is food in your mouth. That's rude! ;)
Allow the crystal to ring. Don't talk while eating!
this guy used to hate me, but we made each other laugh. just make him laugh get him alone to talk to. after a while i passed a stickie saying, "Do u hate me?" he said not at all. just make him laugh. make him be friens with u. or something.
Everyone experiences hiccups from time to time, especially after eating too much food or drinking too much alcohol. But some people get hiccups frequently for no apparent reason, and the attacks can last a long time and be distressing.
When you talk with food in your mouth, it means you don't have manners.Edit: Also, bits of food can fly out.The short answer is : the epiglottis is a movable flap of tissue attached behind/under the tongue which blocks the entrance to the trachea (windpipe) when food is swallowed, thus protecting the lungs by forcing the food to pass over the trachea and instead go down the esophagus (food- & drink-pipe) into the stomach. If you talk while eating, and you happen to be a toddler, your Mum will tell you off. If you talk while eating, and you are older than that, people may think you are a bit of a pig.......
they laugh because they think you look and sound like an idiot!
It is true that you should not talk while you have food in your mouth and it is not really possible to talk while you are taking a drink of a beverage. You may, of course, talk between bites as long as you have swallowed the food.
