More About Bite
Long ago, people used their teeth to eat meat. They needed to bite hard to get food. Animals also learned to bite to eat and play. Biting is very old in nature.
Today, we bite food like apples and bread. We also bite snacks like chips and candy. Biting helps us enjoy our meals every day.
In the future, we might learn new ways to bite. Maybe we will have new foods that need special bites. Biting will always be a part of how we eat!
