They eat with two skinny sticks, meaning it would take all day and night just to get 2000 calories into them.
It’s not that hard.
They also pick up the bowl, which makes all the difference
I can eat with chopsticks - very effectively. I’ve been doing it since I was fifteen.
They’re an honor-bound society, so their moral rules are a bit different from ours. It’s taken a bit of a backseat in modernity, but it made them very effective warriors in the past. The Yakuza still carry some of these traditions, and those families permeate through parts of the Japanese business and political circles - they’re not just gangsters anymore.
At least someone is trying to preserve their own culture and traditions, blemishes and all. I give them credit for accepting it. That’s more than can be said of most of our own.
I eat with those two skinny sticks- đôi đũa and the wife often accuses me of eating too fast after she spends hours in the kitchen etc. It would be faster, I suppose, to shovel it in with my hands but that would be impolite.
