When I chew my food well, I notice that the more I chew, the more I taste my food. I notice that whole foods taste better as I chew, while junk foods tend to taste worse the more I chew (except chocolate candy!) I also notice that if the food is even just slightly spoiled, I will taste the spoiledness of it more when I chew - then it's eewww, spit it out!
You are supposed to get more nutrients from your food if you chew well. Some foods are especially important to chew, such as grains.

His father survived Nazi concentration camps, partly because he chewed his food thoroughly. In that book, he says that if you chew brown rice very well for a long time, you can get high from it. I was never able to do it though. My friend could. I don't have the book anymore.
