食事は良く噛んで、食べましょう。

The first clause is to tell the listener to chew their meal carefully. The
second clause is more of "Let's eat". What does the で do in this sentence? I
understand it is to join two clauses and that て form has many usage, but for
this context, can I assume it is a sequence of event?

E.g. Speaker tells the listener to chew his meal carefully, followed by
suggesting to eat?

Usage of てーform in this example sentence
> 食事は良く噛んで食べましょう。

This type of te-form adverbially describes how the second verb (食べる) is done.
[This question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/38769/5010) is related.
Similar examples include:

  * 歩いて学校に行く  
to go to school by foot (not "to walk and then go to school")

  * ナイフを使って紙を切る  
to cut paper using a knife (not "to use a knife and then cut paper")

In your case the second verb is less important than the first verb, so the
sentence can be translated like "Let's chew well when you eat a meal."
