WHY does Asians eat with chopsticks? ⠀ Most likely, it was due to the rapid growth of the country's population: food was in short supply, so the Celestials cut it into small pieces to cook it faster and make it easier to divide among a large group. ⠀ Small sliced food is nothing to cut with a knife, however, handy to take with chopsticks, which in addition are extremely easy to make and cheap, so the innovation quickly spread across the country.
