On: The Death of Shame Is Tearing Us Apart

> As a benign example, eating food with your hands rather than utensils. In some cultures this is rarely ever tolerated, in others it depends on the food item, and in others still you might always eat with your hands.

I know there are some strange people who eat pizza with a fork, but is there actually anyone who does that with say hamburgers?

Yes, there are people who eat burgers with utensils. It's more common in quasi-formal settings like business-organized dinners where people don't want to appear messy from my experience.
