I just heard before that eating using chopsticks improves your concentration power, is that true? and are there any other benefits of using chopsticks?

Can you use a pen?If you can,then you can use the chopsticks.cuz they both are the same.

@swords~ you hold one chopstick in a fashion 'similar' to the pen >.>"""
and that's pretty much where the similarities end x]

It's not the same, you use two chopsticks in one hand not just one like the pen, its pretty different.
But I don't see what's the great problem with using chopsticks, at least I eat better using chopstick them using a fork and a knife. I love stealing food from inexperience friends with chopsticks... :D

well actually you can use a chopstick like a pen ..
just stab everything you wanna eat (Ó.ò)
=P this way is fine as well ^^

hmm its not that hard to use chopsticks
but in the begining the pieces fall off all the time -.-'

it's easier to use chopsticks than spon and fork

d34thp0odle 05-02-2008 07:36 PM

naah ..
pretty easy to use spoon / fork ..
chopsticks .. you have to manage 2 in one hand ^^!

It's just a matter of practice: both chopsticks and the spoon and knife combo are very confortable!

Chop stick sare easy to use. I rather use chopsticks depending on what i am eating. If I am eating ramen or udon for example I much rather use chopsticks then a fork because forks and spoons are usually made out of metal and get hot in the liquid. Things like bowl meals also. Forks don't hold much rice but I can pick up more rice with it. Its pretty simple to eat with them to.
