China has had forks for a long time, chopsticks were invented to save money during a population boom; they take fewer resources to produce, are easy to dispose of or store for reuse (if you are using metal ones), and can be made easily and quickly. They were also the perfect size for picking up little pieces of food; cooks started cutting food into smaller chunks to cook since it was cheaper (used less fuel).
I LOVE chopsticks! I learned to use chopsticks when I was a little kid about the same age as when I was learning to use forks, and knives. My Dad had just came back from Vietnam, and he he taught me to use chopsticks, he would use chopsticks whenever we ate rice, which was all the time, because rice was a really big crop in Texas! I saw my dad using chopsticks, and I would want to do it too to be like him, so I got a lot of practice as a child.
To be completely honest I have always had a strong aversion to eating Asian food without chopsticks, especially Chinese food, it just feels wrong to me!
They're not normal for doing this, they should let you do what you want post maker (I'm deliberately comparing my name with GaelicPotato), what about you getting out of your parents house, start moving out? And as for you GaelicPotato I loved your name and I don't know who you are and what you do paid or unpaid, at home or in your spare time or with friends, family and even strangers. I think morals are objective and let's not forget just how much of a dickhead non-geniuses think I am even for just sitting down!
IIN that my parents judge me for eating noodles with chopsticks?

I never got the point of chopsticks. Sure its culturally accurate, but hella inconvenient too.

The oil used in cooking is nothing but crude oil, in its extremities the oil could be extracted petrol with the flammability removed.
That's actually really interesting.

Okay but except feeling wrong which is subjective, what's the real benefit over forks, spoons and knives?

I personally just enjoy eating Asian food in a more culturally authentic way.
