From being crude, to being refine, to being best

Monkeys pick up food using their fingers. Early man pick up food using their fingers too.

Then humans realised that they could
use a stick to pick up food. Better still, use 2 sticks. So chopsticks were 'invented'.

As society progresses, people wants to be more 'classy'. Chopsticks are too crude a tool. So westerns started using forks and spoons and knives.

As society progresses further, people attempt to be more artistic. The use of fork and spoon is nothing artistic. So people revert to the use of chopsticks. Holding chopsticks, picking food with chopsticks and chopstick design became an art, as practised in China and Japan.

But really, the best way to eat is to pick up food with the 5 fingers. Nothing beats 'finger-licking'goodness.

The Indians still pick up food using their fingers - They know what is best!.
