Please don't eat so fast

So when we are at the dinner table, my kids are PIGS!  all kids are.  but mine seem to make grunting noises, and have wet food flying around the table out of their mouths.  My biggest thing at dinner is to tell the kids they need to slow down, which is almost always followed up with some remark from them like " I am" or " ok mom" so then i have to swallow the vomit erupting in my belly from watching chewed wet food fly toward me in slow motion.  " Don't talk with food in your mouth, EEWWWEE"  They laugh, cause i say eewwee, but i'm not laughing.  am i not seeing some humor that some nicer mom might see.  I love the sound of a kids laugh as much as the next chick, but i truly hate the sound of laughter mixed with food.  so gross.  And i hate it even more now.  I started weight watchers so i'm constantly coveting other peoples food.  I will make a kick ass meatloaf with A1, and cheese oh mama, and i get to watch my kids and husband make mouth love to it while i get a smart one for 6 points.  I could have an ounce of the delicious meatloaf for 6 points, but what a horrible tease!
