First, clean and prevent diseases.
Eating around the table without using public chopsticks, this seemingly intimate way of eating, increases the risk of disease spreading from person to person. Patients or pathogen carriers among diners can spread the disease to other healthy people, who use chopsticks to shuttle back and forth around the table to eat. Therefore, the biggest advantage of using chopsticks and spoons to eat separately is to reduce the risk of "illness from the mouth".
Second, reduce waste and civilized catering.
It is precisely because of the use of public chopsticks that the dishes will not be polluted by all kinds of saliva, and diners can safely pack up and go home before eating. While reducing waste, it also cultivates people's spirit of environmental protection and saving.
