Can someone debunk this

[pocaracas]

You really are a sick fuck, Huggy.  How dare you belittle the experience of the innumerable people who have lost family members in such a manner, as well as the people themselves who spent their last moments gasping for breath with pieces of food lodged in their windpipes.

If this is what your religion has brought you to -- snarking about a legitimate medical issue to try to score a point against those mean old atheists -- then you can bloody well keep it.

^^^^Excellent example of fake outrage.

Alright Asteja, since you consider the trachea and esophagus connecting at the throat to be a terrible design, how would you improve it?

You see where your nose is?
And where your mouth is?
And then you see how their functions have to cross over to reach lungs and stomach?

The quick and dirty engineering solution is to simply swap the mouth with the nose... I assume some extra details should be tweaked.... perhaps putting the air intake right under the lower jaw? And have it be more of a wide chamber, instead of a tall one... and instead of sharing glands with the eyes, it would share with the mouth.
Extra point: no more sinus.
