Who else would rather use chopsticks instead of silverware?
Kiss of the Dragon is my favorite Jet Li film. In that movie, his character travels to Paris. The villain made an interesting statement about the dietary habits of both places. He even complimented the way they cut the meat into smaller peaces before they eat it with chopsticks. I wish they did that here. In western societies, we're all accustomed to eating with silverware. Personally, I've grown akin to using chopsticks. If I ingest a soup, then I'll use one of those Asian ladles. I think the way Asian people eat is healthier than the method most westerners use. How often do you encounter an Asian person who is overweight? I'm certain it's from eating fast food. McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken have several chain stores in those countries now. I wish we dessicated our food before consuming in chopsticks in America. How can over a billion Chinese people be wron
I agree that yes we should be able to use chop sticks instead of silver wear. Probably one of the reasons why quite a lot of people do not like to use chopsticks is because it usually slips from between their fingers and they just lose patience and interest in the Chopsticks. Now as far as encountering an Asian who is overweight that does not happen quite often here in virginia believe it or not - I rarely see them like that. But Yeah I do agree that we should use chopsticks rather than silver ware - In my opinion it is quite fun and interesting

Combi Chopsticks Trainer Set $6.99 Now that China is set to take over the global economy next week, your wee ones will need to brush up on their chopstick skills for the Blade Runner esque future where McDonalds is reborn as a ramen noodle shop. Oh... and because Ninjas use chopsticks and Ninjas are really really sweet. But seriously, babies in Japan can wield chopsticks better than you can... shouldn't you start your children on chopsticks early to avoid later embarrassment when they dine on poisonous blowfish sushi in Tokyo? Or would you rather just stick with skewering your food with the barbaric knife and fork? The Combi Chopsticks Trainer Set provides a great way to teach children (or adults... yes we're looking at you) the chopstick fundamentals. These special chopsticks offer a three step program for chopstick usage perfection. The first step is to show the proper placement and comfort in your child's hands by using the orange silicone beginner training bridge that rests between your thumb and pointer. This bridge provides the stability for the child to use their thumb, forefinger and middle finger and pick up food more easily. Once your child has mastered the placement and can eat properly, you can move on to step 2 by removing the training bridge so the chopsticks are a bit more difficult to use. By doing this, the child gains a more "real" perspective of how it feels to hold chopsticks. Once this system is completed, the third step is to remove the circular yellow piece that holds the chopsticks together. At this point your kid will have completely mastered the art of eating with chopsticks. Give yourself a pat on the back and move on to the secret and final fourth stage which involves your child plucking a fly from the air with only chopsticks. |

Chimpsticks Beginner's Chopsticks $7.99 Your younglings should learn to appreciate other cultures, including their food and methods of eating, so introduce them early to asian cuisine and chopsticks! Over a billion people in the world know how to use chopsticks. That's billion, with a B, and the teaching method for chopsticks most often used is "learn to use them, or don't eat." Effective, if potentially cruel. In the West, many restaurants go through a lot of trouble to take a pair of chopsticks, bind them with a rubber band, and jam the paper wrapper in between, creating a "starter pair." Nice, but do you really want the hostesses hands all over your kids eating utensils? And where did that rubber band come from? *shudders* Next, we'll talk about monkeys. Our closest simian relatives, they've got 5 fingers on each hand, are unusually intelligent, and capable of complex tasks. They're often employed as helpers, which is why we make use of them in our warehouse for packing shipments, in our code-farms slinging perl, and at the security desk where they are unusually adept at tasering unwanted visitors. Lately, we've begun to realize that monkeys are so useful, we can employ their mere likenesses to great effect! Which brings us, finally, to these wonderful Chimpsticks! Chopsticks, made to look like a monkey with extremely long hands, help your kids learn how to get started with chopsticks! Tiny grasping hands on 8.5 inch removable and dishwasher-safe sticks are held together with soft and flexible food-safe silicone shaped like a helper monkey! It gets your kids engaged, and eager to learn how to use the chopsticks like a big-kid! |
