Some animals have adapted to using sticks in order to collect and eat
insects. Scientists are amazed at their intelligence. I can just imagine all
those scientists doing backflips of joy to discover some animal that
progressed to using a fork and spoon.

Meanwhile, "a billion Chinese" (and Japanese) still eat with sticks.

to prepare his meals. I was amazed at his proficiency.
