Try it
It's enjoyable and gratifying,
As it stimulates the five senses,
Evoking emotions.
The nerve endings in the fingers send messages to the mouth to salivate,
Releasing digestive juices,
And stimulate digestion.
Food is meant to be eaten slowly and eating with hands help with that.
You feel the texture of food with your hands ,
Or can remove unwanted pieces of bone,
Before it reaches your tongue.
As you eat with hands your food directly touches your tongue,
Whilst with a spoon it first touches metal.
Your hands are thoroughly washed by yourself before you seat to eat,
Whilst spoons, knives and forks comes from the kitchen,
Washed by others,
And lying in the drawers.
And it takes many trees to be chopped,
To make chopsticks,
Why use weapons when you have hands to do the job.
Most satisfying and rewarding.
