Nonsense... I've seen many an Oriental shovel food into their maws
from a bowl with chopsticks nonstop without hardly taking a breath
until the bowl is empty... there is nothing delicate about eating with
chopsticks. I've observed long ago that if Orientals had snouts
they'd empty a bowl of moo shu alpo like a famished dog. It's only in
Hollywood movies where Orientals eat all dainty-like from dinner
plates, in reality the Oriental eating style is to scoff/slurp down
grub from bowls like a pack of wild beasts.
