chewing food vs. liquid diet?

Does anyone know whether drinking food is less beneficial than chewing because it doesn’t require the digestive enzymes in the saliva to work? I am curious if anyone has ever been on a liquid diet and why?

I agree, it is very important to use our teeth! I like to have something that really works my teeth in the morning; nothing like biting a ring around a Granny Smith apple!! I also like to cut a zucchini into rounds, it’s pure joy using my teeth for raw produce. For the rest of the day I have sweet green smoothies and I’m very happy and satisfied.
