So what happens to the more than 60% of the world inhabitants who eat with their hands, chopsticks or spoons and forks? Are they rude or barbarians?

I think she made the mistake of saying that american fashion of eating DOES NOT cut up all the food at one time. I watched the other videos and they say american fashion is when one cuts up all their food, puts the knife on the upper part of the plate (spreader facing diner) and eats. What happened here?

Why don't you just wash your hands and eat with them. Food actually tastes better that way.

@millantoo I'm not 100% sure, but in USA you would probably use your right hand (if you're right handed). In Europe, if you switch hands, you're almost considered a barbarian.
