Same here, unfortunately, I always have.  Grandma tells me that I eat "like a bus driver".  The explanation I received was that bus drivers got a 15 minute lunch break, and had to ingest their food very quickly on the way back to the bus.

My son eats like that too.  He learned to do it because in a hospital he may get a "code" call and have to rush to a patient in a life threatening condition.

 Perhaps he was also in the army?  They teach you that in basic training. They always have a drill sergeant in the mess hall hollering  "Eat the fuck up and get the hell out!"
