i think many people in this world use their hands to eat, especially when it come to seafood.
Some food like curry lamb/chicken, fried chicken is delicious when eaten with hand when food is placed on a banana leaf.
africans also use their hands and normally its the right hand or both.

the trick is the clean the hand thoroughly before eating.

Good post , it depends on what food . Eating Burger is another good example .

Dear Bro.

Not all religions are being brain-washed.

Please check Buddhist teaching... where people are never forced to become the followers.
Buddha asked people not to believe blindly, but to question and understand.
Whoever not followed Buddhism are not blamed for not following it.
In fact, Buddhist followers have too much freedom... they are not forced to worship routinely, not forced to donate certain amount of income, not forced to read Buddhist teachings, etc.

Pardon me to describe just from my little knowledge....

Hi

Many people may confuse between Buddhism and Taoist.
Taoist is more like traditional... worshiping Gods, making people to follow ritual.

Buddhism does not have God (creator), but enlighten ones who escaped suffering and life circle.
Buddhism does not teach followers to worship, but to practise (insight meditation).
There is no punishment (or curse) for not doing so and so.

Everyone has his/her own destiny (not giving or set out by Gods).
Thus, the freedom is with the followers - to make effort which way they want to walk... and answer themselves for their actions (karma).
Buddha said no one can save you, but you are to save yourself through doing good deeds.

That's why I seldom whack buddist here but if they trying to talk rubbish its time that I will step in and debunk their faith . Buddisum still have many loops hole just like other religions .when those devotes start talking nonsense then I will come in .
