Food Eaterman Lab

We did a lab to see how many millivolts a jaw would generate while one eats food. We tried different kinds of food, including bananas, carrots, celery, Gatorade (considered a food now) marshmallow, and pop tarts. As you can tell from the chart, bananas obviously are the hardest to chew, or just simply generate a lot of energy. Which completely disproves my theory of a hard food generating more energy than a soft food. Although i didn't think that Gatorade would generate more energy than a carrot. The marshmallow was pretty close to the same as the pop tart. Although it was a fun time eating and socializing while having electroid tabs attached to your face. These tabs were attached to a probe, which then measures the amount of energy (in mV) generated while you are eating, by your jaw.
