I just realized that people without tonsils have the ability to swallow more food at one time. I guess it seems logical with the difference in throat anatomy but who thinks about it? I would have spent my entire life not knowing this fact if it weren’t for my tonsillectomy last week…or what we like to call the meatballs-of-the-throat removal.

I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing for a person with normal eating habits but competitive eaters may want to take note.
