The Kami Kami chewing sensor measure your child's mastication

Nitto Kagaku's Kami Kami sensor measures the number of bites a child takes, beeping after every thirty and one thousand chomps, respectively. The idea is to promote proper mastication^*, but the parent who makes their kid actually wear something like this has well earned the physically abusive geriatric castle they are exiled into half a century down the line.

So, what purpose does beeping after every thousand chomps provide? Or am I missing something? (as I so often do.)
