Some answered this as Fletcherism
That should have read Someone .
Fletcher, Horace (1849-1919), American dietitian. Fletcher was plagued by obesity and indigestion most of his life. Then in 1895 he set out to find the key to good health. After several failures he finally decided that the solution lay in chewing one's food thoroughly. He developed a set of principles which he then proceeded to propagate.
Horace Fletcher, an importer by trade, wrote The ABC of Nutrition, published in 1903. In it he put forward the notion that each mouthful of food should be chewed 32 times. He had no background in medicine, nutrition or health, and no basis for his claim.
