Why 1.5 billion people eat with chopsticks

TED Talk by Jennifer 8. Lee

Major concept:

They haven’t really explained why people eat with chopsticks.

This video was more of ‘chopsticks facts in 3 minutes.’

There are different types of chopsticks; Chinese, Korean and Japanese. All of them have different types.

Some are flat and long, some are pointy and round.

Most of them are made out of wood. They’re also made out of plastic, bamboo, jade, gold, silver, and even ivory.

They are well designed to eat small bits of food and actually promote bonhomie and family eating.

A legend:

Everyone has these really long chopsticks and in Hell, it’s impossible to eat. But using the same chopsticks the people in Heaven feed each other.
