I've heard its because you can't really chew them up and you risk choking on them?
I dunno, sounds dumb. They're not poisonous or anything.

ravioli mixed with strawberry milk, macaroni and cheese, and jello...

I took care of an elderly gentleman who didn't even know that he had eaten a whole bay leaf. He got very ill and developed a bowel obstruction. When I assisted in his operation with our surgeon, we found an intact bay leaf which had perforated part of his small intestine. He did well but died several years later from something else.
If you chew them up I think they are harmless.
