Field rations of the Thai Army on the front line are quite good! There are fish, meat, and fruits. They have finally gotten rid of the tradition of eating with their hands and started using spoons. Previously, they used their hands because they didn't use chopsticks. In the Indochina region, only Vietnam uses chopsticks for eating, while other countries either eat with their hands or use spoons because they are not accustomed to using chopsticks. The food of the Thai military is obviously much better than that of the Cambodian military. These are all frontline soldiers.
Firstly, white rice is available as much as you want, followed by meat, vegetables, and fruits. However, some Thai soldiers do not like to eat rice in a tin bowl, but instead pour the rice onto a banana leaf and eat it together. Before, in the countries of the Indochina region, only Vietnam used chopsticks, while other countries' soldiers liked to eat with their hands directly. Now, due to a lot of criticism about eating with hands, most other countries have started to use spoons. However, some Burmese soldiers still maintain the habit of eating with their hands, while others use spoons.
The reason why they don't use chopsticks may be that they haven't used them since childhood, or they are not used to it, so they don't know how to use chopsticks. On the contrary, after Westerners started using knives and forks, they found that using chopsticks is more convenient. Westerners have become more accepting of using chopsticks for eating, which has become more widespread, as they originally used knives and forks and then evolved to chopsticks, which is normal.
In ancient China, people used to eat with their hands from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then evolved to using spoons during the Qin Dynasty, and later gradually evolved to using chopsticks. It was a step-by-step evolution, not starting with chopsticks right away. This also shows that people who eat with their hands have evolved too slowly, finding it difficult even to evolve to using spoons, and it will take even more time to evolve to using chopsticks.
On the Western side, they have already evolved from eating with hands to using spoons, and now they are gradually popularizing the use of chopsticks, so Westerners have strong learning abilities.
