If the classic TV show sci-fi trope of eating pills for food had became a reality, would humans overtime no longer be able to chew? (self.showerthoughts)

evolutionary wise, very far into the future would we develop different mouths and very few teeth?

Pills as food wouldn't ever catch on, people like too much about food to just settle on eating pills for the rest of their lives. Even though there is a niche who enjoy huel.

It could be a possibility.

That might also mean that companies could look to create things that worked out our teeth and jaws to prevent that from happening (or maybe slow it down).

I like to think that it would be something similar to wonderbread - where once we removed all the nutrients from the white bread, we added in vitamins, except instead it would be large chewy pills.
