The funny thing is I'm sure you swallow larger pieces of food all the time with no trouble!
Probably when not paying attention. But also, sometimes I chew soup if there's rice or other small things in it :p
Difference is that you can chew the food, it’s much more natural. You can’t, or aren’t supposed to, chew the pill (especially if it’s a capsule). There is a psychological component, for sure.
The food wouldn't be in a form factor where they can turn sideways and get lodged in your throat. It's so unpleasant when that happens.
