How to Eat With Chopsticks
Just as riding a bike, the mechanics of using chopsticks are simple -- it's just a matter of practice. Once you get the hang of how to eat with chopsticks, you may find yourself looking forward to the next opportunity to practice. Using chopsticks pleasantly forces you to slow down, take deliberate bites, and ultimately enjoy a meal a little more than had you just 'shoveled' it in with spoon or fork!
The 'secret' to eating with chopsticks is simply to move only the top chopstick. The bottom stick is held stationary in your fingers, while the top stick -- controlled by your first two fingers and thumb -- is moved to pinch bites of food.
