Do you really want to waste the precious few words you have on lashon hara and nivul peh?
Do you want to waste the precious few chews you have on potato chips? Do you want to waste your precious few arm motions playing ball with your kid? Do you want to waste your precious few steps exploring the zoo?
In other words, if the point is true, why is *speech* always singled out. I *never* hear anyone say “don’t eat that pizza — you only have so many swallows and you might want to save it for something more holy.*”
