When we were kids and teenagers, my brother had a real problem with my eating habits. He would sometimes say "stop smacking!" and smack *me*, and compared me to nearly every farm animal that exists. Of course, he wouldn't do this when our parents were eating with us, it was only when he and I ate alone that he would treat me badly.
I usually eat pretty much like a civilized human being, but I do spill things sometimes. And I can't seem to eat rice without getting it all around my plate, and that's with a fork. How to people with chopsticks manage not to get rice everywhere? Of course, with traditional Asian food it's more acceptable to eat certain things in a way that Westerns find rude, like slurping your noodles.
