Because they're sociopaths. It's bad table manners to leave the chopsticks sticking up in the food for a reason. It reminds them that they used to make them out of the bones of their relatives.

You really think they were always sticks? That's not very practical. Bones make great tools. But we don't talk about that.

Yet they'll walk around eating food with their hands (buns, cabbage wraps, leaf wraps, rice forms.) Now they've adopted sandwiches too. Clearly it wasn't in small enough pieces.

>when eating salad, using a fork makes absolutely no sense
Hahah what? There are a ton of slippery vegetables that are easier to spear or scoop with a fork than grab with sticks. Furthermore, a fork can pick up ALL forms of greens easily, not just most. Lacquered chopsticks are not for a slick vinaigrette salad with radishes.

how exactly would chopsticks work better than a fork? with a fork you actually CAN spin the spaghetti to get a clean chunk and if you're gonna slurp it all like a bugman anyway it's still superior

>Yet they'll walk around eating food with their hands (buns, cabbage wraps, leaf wraps, rice forms.
So? They're not eating those with a knife & fork either those are historically food items that you would eat while travelling. No need for chopsticks or any other dishes.

>scoop with a fork
gee if only there was another Western utensil designed for scooping.

>easier to spear
Again there's no need to stab your food like a caveman when you can easily pick it up with chopsticks.

>pick up
Forks don't pick up anything, they stab & poke.
Once you get down to the last pieces of spinach or whatever you're just gonna end up using your fork as a spoon anyways. Especially if it's a shit plastic fork.

Sure, if you suffer from a neurological disorder. Almost all forks have a slight curve allowing you to scoop. Forks closely resemble the human hand and can easily pick things up.
