Chew Chew Chew your Food (Slow down) PSA 80s

[greenbeana214]

It's obvious the narrator was never in the Army

[pictureisup1]

@bphullen They would have to be a rap

[TheTrav1155]

that was such a stupid video!

[SongsJerome]

LOL

[MrKilroy138]

The beginning music sounds like jaws, doesn't it?

[mrstexas777]

Amazing how we had PSAs telling us how to be healthy. The kids today don't seem to have this and are obese. Bring back Schoolhouse Rock!!!

[slwolfe73]

Good one.

[Alexizizcrazy]

Hm, I'm surprised they didn't have chicken.

I HAD TOO SAY IT!

[narutofan9tf]

@Alexizizcrazy ?

[Alexizizcrazy]

@narutofan9tf ??

[CampbellScot]

@bphullen ABSOLUTELY agree. Children today are little animals when they eat. I work in schools and I have to avoid the cafeteria at lunch time or my gag reflex gets going. I do not know what is wrong with people! My kids learned to chew with their mouths shut by age 2. Manners have gone out the window. It's really disgusting! I even see high school kids with atrocious table manners. ugh. gross.

[MsTexas73]

@bphullen They sure do. Along with the cartoons like we had where there was an actually "message" involved.

[bandcouver]

These are actually from the 70's not the 80's. I grew up with them.

[Bloddyfriend]

0:20

If you chew your food you become gay

[Moontheblueneko]

@bphullen Yes but what about all the unhealthy fat adults now who grew up with these? >_> there are more then fat ignorent kids that need tv to tell them what to do. Like stupid fat adults that still need the tv to tell them what to do.

[Miracle490d]

@Moontheblueneko You're right about the unhealthy adults. These PSAs didn't have all the right answers for us even though they did good for a lot. They never told us or our parents how to deal with the foods we hated the taste of. And our parents forced us to eat it. So what did we do as adults? How many answered I ate junk? Forcing does not teach kids to eat right.

[BossHossGT500]

I COULD SHIT A BETTER PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

[Gervase74]

HEY MAN...WHATS THE RUSH?!

[PimpYourPod]

is there anyway that there is a way to get this video in a higher quality please?

[feebeebobeebee13]

"That's it...ooo...nice and easy" hehe

[Mystrymeat]

And they don't have these nowadays... why?

[avril1770]

so u chew chew chew slow food what bout fast food :L

[peacocean]

FAIL

[InsertName125]

Wow, there should be a nostalgia web site for old catch phrases. I haven't heard that one since the 80s. Nice comment anyway.

[rcknrol1]

That "Jaws" part at the beginning cracks me up! LOL!

[tanquantwal]

Man I love these informative commercials. They should replay them today. Being that there's no more Saturday morning cartoons I guess it would have to air on Nick or cartoon network or put inside of a video game for the children nowadays to see it. We had it so good in the 70's and 80's. Glad I was a part of it.

[annikee59]

You said just what I was gonna say! TV used to actually inform kids!

[YodaBannon]

@tanquantwal me too

[Mackadoeshez]

Classic. lol

Chew, chew, chew.............

[FutureiMacuser]

I'm WTFing about this.. Most of these School House Rock PSA's are starring black people. Why not white? Whats racist about it? I dunno!

[MelanieLouM]

Hmmm, the announcer said "slow food" at the end...notice how it sounds a little like "soul food"...and is it just a coincidence that the child in the video is black?? Inquiring minds want to know! O_o

[Iquey]

I've never seen this before, but it's a good message lol.

[toasteee252]

for those that wonder how this works..if you eat more slowly than gulping it makes you feel fuller. It takes about 7 minutes for the stomuch to tell the brain it is full. so if you eat quickly and don't slow down you overeat.

[BestWifeEvar]

I sing these PSA's to my kids, they have no idea where I get all these jingles from. "Mom is weird....."

[Miracle490d]

@BestWifeEvar LOL how on earth did you remember them all or did you cheat and look on youtube for reminders? I remembered some, but I can't believe how many I forgot, when I look here.

[suthrndaysi]

@BestWifeEvar I did too, they thought I was crazy!  Glad these up!

[suthrndaysi]

@BestWifeEvar Me too! My kids thought I was crazy. The don't drown your food one was my fave. Probably because I realized I liked veggies when they weren't over cooked or drowned in yucky stuff like my mom always made. I still eat dry salads. I just don't like dressing.

[Guitcad1]

Ok, this one is a little less offensive and preachy than the "Louis the Lifeguard" one. At least it gives a good reason for doing what it tells you, other than it's "so much better" and doing otherwise is "no fun."

[abrahamWCE]

Now we eat slowly because the food rations are smaller than before.

[FoximusPrime1]

Catchy song! I like it!

[kelseyisherex]

now the only psas are musicals about smoking

times have changed.

[rockergirl83]

Remember Louie the Lightning Bug? "You gotta obey what those signs say"

[Iquey]

it's the magical amount! not enough to knock you out. but just enough to count! the MAGICAL amount! :D:D:D:D

[DarkFoot25]

wow i feel old as hell, I remember this commercial from way back.

[54spiritedwill54]

my brother shoves too much food in his mouth.

[mattnlinny]

Congratulations animerox. You are dumb enough to misspell the word your.

[x0kindlemyheart0x]

They should consider starting these commercials up again...

[animerox1341]

Congratulations america, you're population is dumb enough and fat enough to have to be told on TV how to eat.

[rockergirl83]

Last time I checked your country wasn't exactly the fittest in the world either.

[ContrastY]

thanks right! chew your effing food!

loves it.

[whitetailhunta]

their is nothing on tv today like this!

[angelzz4you]

my brother shoves too much food in his mouth. =/

[exoticbrunette06]

omg this is so true. they need to start showing this on tv again. there are too many fattys in america.

[whizkidforte]

Dead right, man. Research shows that rushing a meal can cause people to have an tendency to (Dare I say it?) OVEREAT!!! So you are really correct in your remarks because we need to educate the public to eat slowly and allow 20min w/o food so it can digest in their stomachs and in turn -- lose more weight alongside >30min (>an hour if under 18) of physical activity! Now that's something to chew on!

[idahopotato99]

They should definetaly have this back on the air along with, give me a kiss instead of a cookie, don't drown your food and potatoes. If they did, and if people were paying attention to them, they might actually listen. It might help them not overeat.

[whizkidforte]

Thanks! :)

[whizkidforte]

Oh, and the (not so, to me) dreaded -- ahem -- holiday season is around the corner, so, I want those PSAs about healthy eating which were shown on ABC during the 80's back!

[AVerbene]

how does not chewing your food make you fat

[exoticbrunette06]

research shows that if you chew your food properly it makes you fuller and its better for the digestive system.........look it up god
