What is Eat??
Eating is arguably the most fundamental of human activities. In
Western societies in particular, there is great interest in diet,
health, and food preferences. Why We Eat What We Eat: The Psychology
of Eating translates the latest research results on the psychology of
eating for health and psychology professionals as well as lay readers.
This volume explores the shift in eating research from the search for
bodily signals that trigger hunger to a focus on eating patterns
emerging from a learning process based on life experience. This new
book offers hope that healthful eating patterns can be learned. The
volume proposes models for normal eating behavior and discusses how
and why eating deviates from these norms.
Why We Eat What We Eat expands on themes in the well-received volume
Taste, Experience, and Feeding and makes the information accessible to
a wider audience. It will be of value to anyone interested in eating
and its psychological aspects: health psychology researchers and
practitioners, physicians, pediatricians, nutritionists, educators,
students, and parents.

How people eat in each counties!!
1. How the Philippines eat
• Food is usually eaten with Western cutlery, though with variation:
the tablespoon is the main utensil, held in the right hand; the left
hand holds the fork, but only as a helper to scoop food into the spoon
as well as to pick up portions of food. Unlike other Asian cultures,
it is not considered a faux pas to use a knife to cut foods into
smaller portions at the dining table.
• Eating using the hands is acceptable in some cases - although rare
these days, especially in the urbanised areas of the country. One
would find this practice mostly in rural areas.
• Eating with hands is not practised in formal dining situations,
except of course with foods that normally are consumed that way, such
as table breads (i.e., buttered buns), and other delicacies.
Generally, mid-level restaurants and social gatherings are not
appropriate venues for this, whereas this may be done at home.
• Pangalumbaba or an act of supporting the chin with hands is
considered a disrespectful manner while eating.
• It is considered bad manners to talk when mouth is full. A person
should finish chewing first before he should speak.
• In Islamic parts of the country, one absolutely must remember never
to eat with the left hand as this hand is considered unclean.
• When visiting another's home, it is customary for the host to
provide drinks and some snacks for the guests. It is very important
for the guest to accept this offering. To do otherwise would be a
serious insult or put-down to the host.

2. How The French eat their meal
• Both hands must be above the table at the same time. They cannot be
below the table even if they are together. This rule comes from
medieval times, where the king feared assassination. To make sure he
was able to dine safely, all persons dining with him kept their hands
above the table where they could be seen at all times. The action of
putting your hands below the table was interpreted as an attempt to
grab your dagger and assassinate the king.
• Remember to always say please and thank you - s'il vous plait and merci
• It is considered good manners to finish everything on your plate.
• Do not put ice in your wine. At restaurants, wine is served at the
temperature at which it is meant to be enjoyed.

3. Indian table manners
Main article: Etiquette of Indian dining
• Wait for the host or the eldest person to start first.
• You should maintain silence while eating food. You are not expected
to chat unnecessarily with the people around the table.
• It is acceptable to not use cutlery for eating, as many foods - such
as Indian breads and curry - are best enjoyed when eating with the hand.
• When flatbreads such as chapati, roti, or naan are served with the
meal, it is acceptable and expected to use pieces of them to gather
food and sop-up gravies and curries.
4. Japanese table manners
• Never place chopsticks stuck vertically into a bowl of food, as this
is the traditional presentation form for an offering to one's ancestors.
• Women should cup their other hand beneath their serving when using
chopsticks when conveying food from dish/bowl to mouth. Men should not
do this.
• . The exceptions to this are o-zoni, the traditional soup served on
New Year's Day; soups with noodles are served in larger bowls, such as
ramen, are acceptable to eat using chopsticks, although the soup
itself is still consumed from bowl to mouth.
• It is perfectly acceptable, rather, encouraged to make a slurping
noise when eating hot noodles such as udon, ramen or soba. This is
standard behaviour in Japan, and Japanese maintain that inhaling air
when eating hot noodles improves the flavor.
• When taking a break from eating during a meal, one should place
one's chopsticks on the chopstick rest (hashi-oki) provided. A
hashi-oki is usually a ceramic rectangle about four centimeters long,
or in some restaurants, a halved wine cork is provided.
Those are saveral kind of how people eat or celebrate the time to have
a meal.
