    Chopsticks are great for all kinds of foods. It helps you slow down if you are a fast eater allowing yourself to feel full quicker and eat less. Its helped me lose weight. Also helps when eating popcorn as you eat small bites and don’t get your hands dirty.

      I like the Emma Thompson story about why she rolls her own cigarettes. The original idea was that if she had to roll her own cigarettes, she would slow down and smoke less. Ultimately, all that it accomplished was to teach her how to roll faster. So now she smoke just as much, but unfiltered.

      This is my experience with chopsticks. At this point they don’t slow me down, and I’m good enough that I can pick individual sesame seeds off of a plate with ease.

        When I’m hungry at an Asian restaurant I eat faster than fork/knife people with chop sticks.

        Time for you to switch to smooth metal chopsticks then … when you get to the point you can easily eat a pork chop with those you know you’ve mastered the art of the chopstick

        PS. I’m not kidding, we have these at work and they’re ten times harder to use than wood or plastic ones … and yes, sometimes we get pork chops at work, lol
