About Chewing Gum
Known for getting stuck in hair or on the soles of shoes, chewing gum is a substance that is chewed (not swallowed or eaten) for fun or to freshen breath. Gum comes in a variety of flavors, some minty and some sweet. Some versions are primarily for blowing bubbles, which is amusing for children and adults alike.
About Teeth
Teeth are small, white structures made of calcium that are found in the jaw bone of animals and humans. The shape of an animal's teeth determine what that animal eats. Herbivores eat plants, which are hard to digest. As a result they have a mouth full of molars to grind and chew their food. Carnivores eat meat, so their teeth are designed to kill prey and rip flesh. Humans are omnivores, so we have a little of both.
