Eating
Consumption of food is a universal necessity. Different cultures have developed
different methods to accomplish the task. It is interesting to discover these
differences and learn new ways to do things. European cultures developed cutlery
(knives, forks, and spoons) to enable people to efficiently eat their food. Correct
use of this tools changes with the times-what was polite in 1800 may not be
considered proper manners today. China developed the chopstick as an efficient
tool for eating. Mastery of the use of chopsticks can be difficult for the person not
raised in the culture. The attempts of a novice to use chopsticks can be very
amusing to the watcher, but frustrating for the hungry diner. Space travel has
created new challenges for consuming food. Squeeze bottles and other unique
packaging have enabled space travelers to get their needed nutrition. Chopsticks
and forks do not work well in space.
