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

get their needed nutrition. Chopsticks and forks do not work well in space.CORRECT-
