Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Grazing
English term or phrase: Grazing
Prezados Tradutores,

Estou traduzindo um texto sobre saúde bucal e me apareceu o termo "grazing' que quer dizer pastar e é usado para gado. Neste caso, eu poderia usar também como comer normalmente no seguinte contexto?

Letting your child snake, sip on liquids containing sugar or grazing all day long can lead to an unhealthy mouth and tooth decay.

Acho meio estranho usar este termo para pessoas.


Obrigado.

Atenciosamente,

Sergio Medina

Diria assim em PT(pt), espero que seja útil...

Creio que a primeira parte da frase devia ser: Letting your child snack...

neutral  airmailrpl: Ruminants usually have a stomach divided into four compartments (called the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum), and chew a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food...and definitly do NOT chew on regurgitated, partially digested food
