Soft Food Diets Leading to Weak Jaws

If you are reading this, then it is very likely you are a human sitting at a computer sometime in the 21st century. If this is the case, then you are very likely eating a diet that consists of soft things, and some things that are so soft you can basically just swallow them whole and chew them with your throat on the way down.
