Is It wrong to masticate in public???

I  chronically masticate; I just can't help my self. Its to the point where I will intentionally masticate right in front of the whole family at Thanks giving dinner! One time my grandmother told me to slow down or I would get a stomach ache, so I “slowed” down a bit to humor her. My point is this, I like to masticate in public and I have been known to "adulate thespians while masticating in a restaurant"! There is really no shame in it. I sometimes do it three times a day ..."so what’s the big deal"
