Chewing gum isn’t *really* food; it’s more like candy you’re supposed to throw away. Most gum is made from an organic polymer similar to rubber, and, while it is perfectly safe to swallow, the expectation is that you’re not going to swallow it. Apples, by contrast, are fruit, and you can eat fruit.
