Chopsticks are better than forks

"While you refute my arguments by stating that those arguments do not have a place here because proving that chopsticks are no worse than forks do not mean they are better, you contradict yourself by repeatedly saying that forks can do anything chopsticks can, which is equivalent of those arguments that you tried to refute."No I didn't because I didn't stop there. The argument is that a fork can do anything that chopsticks can do, while chopsticks can't do everything a fork can do. You only gave examples of things that both a fork and chopsticks can do. That does not prove your claim that chopsticks are superior to a fork. Folding foodI agree with you on this one. I eat a lot of kkbq and chopsticks are the way to go when it comes to eating rice paper and brisket. But you don't have to fold it at all. For example, you can just use your fork to eat the meat and then eat the rice paper. Putting the meat inside the rice paper and putting it all in your mouth at once is a matter of preference.Picking up floating piecesThis depends on the food, and a person's skill level on both untensils. Ill leave this one to the voters.Picking up a piece of food on top of a bowl of food It can be easily done by scooping it up with a fork. "You need to have demonstrated that forks are superior first, before you made a statement that pros outweigh cons. To me, this is just "one of many pros" of using chopsticks, not "one pro in a pool of cons" as you look at it."Yes this is what we are debating about. That was an introductory claim not an argument. You don't need to rebutt that."A piece of meat that chopsticks have hard time piercing and splittng will be even harder to cut with a fork. When piercing with a chopstick, the surface area is very small compared to when you press down with the side of a fork."Not at all. I cut beef and pork with a fork all the time with ease. This would be nearly impossible with chopsticks. Also a fork's spikes can perforate and make it even easier to cut the piece of meat. Rebuttals to your rebuttalsC1A. Learning curve is relevant because then someone who devotes himself to masterfully use a hook lets say, to manipulate food can claim that his hook is the best untensil, but you have to master it like he did. The fact that it's much easier to learn how to use a fork C1B. An injury to your dominant hand would be a reason to have to use chopsticks with your off hand. My example was also when having to use a knife to cut a really tough piece of meat. Most poeple use their dominant hand to cut it for precision and strenght, while holding it down with their left hand with a fork, this would be very difficult with chopsticks.C1C. Cars are harder to maufacture and recycle than a horse and carriage as well. Does this mean that a horse and carriage is a superior form of transportation? We are debating over which untensil the superior eating tool, so this argument is irrelevant.C2. I mentioned that forks can be used to scoop up pieces of corn, peas etc. while you to pick them up one at a time with chopsticks. If I were to eat a bowl of corn or peas, I'd definitely choose a fork over chopsticks.C3A. I never said that it was impossible. The point is that it is more difficult.If you're adding scissors to your chopsticks then I can add whatever I want to my fork. Forks aren't meant to be used by itself in the first place. If I add a spoon or knife to my fork, then it's really superior to chopsticks and another tool.C3B. Skewer with a chopstick is not done (though possible) because it's not practical. It's like skewering with a spoon. My point remains though that forks have the ability to skewer a piece of food and not exert any more effort to keep it on the utensil.C3C and D. Again, possible but harder and less efficient.C4. TV dinners often requires you to perforate the plastic covering before putting it in the microwave. This can be done with chopsticks as well I suppose but It's still easier with a fork. And when it comes to frozen microwavable peas and corns etc, forks are the way to go.C5. Again, If assistance with other hand or tool is allowed then forks are even more unbeatable.Other needsI actually listed a bunch of non-food related functions of a fork but I deleted it since they really are irrelevant. One of them is forks are FAR better weapons. Theres really no need to include this topic.Overall, FFTW (forks for the win)
