Benefits of sharing meals with chopsticks:

Eating around a table without chopsticks, a seemingly intimate way of eating, increases the risk of spreading disease from person to person. Patients or carriers of pathogens can spread the disease to other healthy people eating around the table*** with chopsticks "shuttling" back and forth. Therefore, the biggest advantage of using public chopsticks and spoons and eating separate meals is to reduce the risk of "diseases entering by the mouth".
