imagine if the sides of our jaws were disconnected in the middle and indenpentently movable, we had no palates, and one side only had molars and the other only had incisors, and we had to use our hands and tongue to get food into the throat.

i can only assume lobsters look at us and feel equally uneasy about how we work.

Idk. But I imagine that's what they might say if they weren't.

Still, if you were a sentient being whose digestive system isn't a glorified tube, you can see how a tube based system might be yucky.
