I disagree with eating loose soft food (like rice/beans/sauces) with your hands. Sorry India and Ethiopia, you are ****ing wrong.

That's akin to saying "we eat sandwiches by hand"
And while pizza and fries are not snadwitches, they are encased in bread, which generally falls into the hand category.
If you are scooping sauce and rice out of a platter, that's not hand food.

loose food


Loose food is the reason that utensils were invented.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

Here in the American South, eating pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ, fried chicken, French fries, fried fish, bread, and some vegetables with your hands is normal. 

Since a lot of Southeast Asians got resettled in my area after Vietnam, you sometimes see people using chopsticks, but that seems to be fading as the older generations die out.  Many restaurants still provide them, but you have to ask.  I have attracted stares when eating spaghetti with chopsticks.
