I agree that other ways of eating are not uncultured. I just felt this way while seeing the fork and knife skills of Europeans. I felt so different compared to everyone else at the dinner table. But I agree - there's nothing wrong with other ways of eating and enjoying food!

And I hope that our education system does improve in these ways -- but for now I guess it's up to the individual. We have to rely on our own self-education. Thank you for your comment Warren. Really interesting! :)
