Why do Indonesians eat with their hands?
<|assistant|>
Indonesians eat with their hands due to cultural and religious reasons. Eating with the hands is seen as an honourable and respectful way to eat, especially when communally eating with others. Additionally, the lack of flatware in Indonesia makes eating with the hands a convenient, if not practical, choice. Furthermore, eating with the hands offers more control when consuming food as it allow for an more mindful and personal experience than when eating with utensils. Finally, some people argue that eating with the hands is a healthier way to eat, as it encourages people to use less oil and less spicy food.
