Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Apparently Chinese ancestors were the first who invented chopsticks. They did this by discovering that using two twigs is better for reaching into pots full of hot water or oil, rather than using hands or fingers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Knives and forks on the dinner table are considered uncivilized in traditional Chinese culture, since knives and forks were (at least symbolic) weapons/killing tools. Eating with knives and forks is like saying that having a meal is but the extension of butchering and cutting meat pieces.

Detailed explanation-3: -Research shows that eating with chopsticks lowers the glycemic index of the food you consume, thanks to the way it makes you eat it. Because eating with chopsticks meant eating less at a time and eating more slowly, the glycemic index of the food decreases.
