Welll.... I don't really know that much about chop stick even though i am asian, but from my um... analyze the structure of chopstick i can give u the answer of "Why chopsticks?"

1: Chopstick is just esasy to make, very simple shape unlike fork or spoon!!! can be made by various material => cheap. This leave me the the next reason

2:Type of food they cook is most apporiate to eat with chopstick, altho fork will do fine but remeber the Western and the Asian culture develop without any interference with each other unltil these very last centuries, so the only eating equipment at the time is chopstick.

3: Because it is cheap, affordable, and easesy to made that why the chopstick is so popular in the old times, as poor people can also access to these chopsticks easely. Unlike fork, with usssually used only for the royal and rich people (lol i think so).
