What Happens to the Food We Eat?

 although of course we grind everything that comes mto the "mill. inc oreau 

 and potatoes begin digesting at once. The other food is slower, needing preparation 

 in the first kitchen before passing to the second kitchen where the bile and pan- 

 creatic juice complete its digestion. As this food passes along that tube the iittie 

 tentacles in its walls sort out what is needed, the waste going into the sewer. 

 It takes two hours for food to digest; so we should not overcrowd our stomacns
