Goliath Eating

Watch how Goliath picks up his food.  He doesn't use his tongue (or Tongue Prehension) like Alfred.  Instead, he uses his mouth, or lips (called Jaw Prehension).  After he grabs his food.  Notice that he doesn't chew it before swallowing, like Alfred.  Instead he uses what's called "Inertial Feeding" to swallow.
