of chopsticks can be difficult for the person not raised in the culture. The attempts of a
novice to use chopsticks can be very amusing to the watcher, but frustrating for the
hungry diner. Space travel has created new challenges for consuming food. Squeeze
bottles and other unique packaging have enabled space travelers to get their needed
nutrition. Chopsticks and forks do not work well in space. - CORRECT ANSWERS-set 1
