Why do people choke to death at restaurants but rarely if ever eating at home or alone?
Eating is supposed to keep you alive, not kill you — it is something supernatural almost.

People are "civilized" and they eat out, and that is where they secretly but "formally" desire something.
Sometimes they are feigning friendship or family love, and sometimes what they desire is death and not love.
Sometimes there are enemies at the next table or other families they are feuding with, or sometimes the staff hate them, but never openly because everyone is always polite at the restaurant.
It is somewhere between the swallowing of the food and the breathing of the atmosphere at the place, that a disconnect or an interruption occurs.
Don't talk with your mouth full, but don't interrupt someone in the act of swallowing.
