Eating set 1
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.
