Food

problem. Many physicians believe that overeating is one of the country's main health problems,
since it places a great strain on the heart, can lead to diabetes, and often shortens the individual's
life span. To fill an emotional void. People often turn to food when they are bored or lonely.
Another area of concern is alcohol consumption. The results of alcohol abuse are widely
publicized. The social drinker who becomes alcoholic, the drunken driver's contribution to
highway death, spousal and child abuse, are all concomitant problems associated with alcohol
abuse.

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 tool’s 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.
