Does food and drink really go down the wrong pipe?

This is not a stupid qusetion.  When food 'goes down the wrong pipe' it goes down the trachea to the lungs instead of down the esophagus to the stomach.  The reason we cough is because our body does not want foreign objects in our lungs.  Coughing causes the object to be worked out of the lungs.  Should something stay in the lungs this can cause an infection called aspiration pneumonia which can be very serious.

Well it's definitely not a physical change. Not by definition anyway.\nWhat was once food is very chemically altered after going through the digestion process...so YES.

you are probably eating the wrong kinds of food or eating from boredom not hunger

sorry I am with Marianne.\nI could answer if it was in relationship to altering the volume of liquids in gravy. That would be when my spoon can stand up in it.\nnot a science person.

yeah, it's your body using it's energy to digest the food instead of keeping you at a steady temperature.  espeically happens after i eat a lot.

These people are NUTS.  There is no amount that you "should" be drinking.  The "8 glasses a day" and "half your weight" theories have NO basis in science.  It's all just myth and folklore.  Drink when you're thirsty.  No benefit to over-drinking.

well  if  you  have   been   working  there  would   be   food  in  the   house unless  your   buying   drugs  or  blowing  your   money.my   answer  would  be  work  where  i   could.   and   not  blow  what  i  made   on  nonsense.if  your  working  there  shouldnt  be  a   problem.

One mistake doesn't mean the entire day is ruined.  You need to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and continue on with your good eating choices.  None of us are perfect, you seem to be doing fine!

It all depends on what you eat!

No. Good or bad is not defined on whether you drink or not.

you should just be careful with the food you eat, and the water, don't buy anything to eat from those little carts or from any place that doesn't look right, the food is quite different so that can make you sick, but unless you are going to the amazon there is nothing to worry about.

It would be unsanitary not to. I do every time after I use the bathroom. But I do know what you mean. I have seen a lot of people who don't. The ones you immediately want to watch out for are co-workers-don't eat what they brought to a pot luck...gross! Even family members, I don't have that problem with family, but watch out eating what they cooked. People can be just sick....
