We use tools instead of our hands for higiene although in many countries even Japan they use their hands

Except with french fries, cookies, candy, chocolate, fruit, spear ribs, chicken wings, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, potato chips, pizza.

Hygiene is conformity.

How are you supposed to break the food into smaller pieces cleanly without fork and knife?

You literally bite and chew. Do you eat apple with a fork and knife? Have you not seen people eat steak with their hands?

Eating with utensils is not conformist per se. Just like it was mentioned that the thing in itself is not conformity. But like you are triyng to argue that having a box of tools in your home is conformist, but that's a bad example.

A good example of utensils conformity would be for example having a collection of them, buying the expensive ones, the ones with finest art carved unto them, making a whole identity out of utensils, going to utensils conferences where they talk about the tradition of utensils and why you should have the "original" or "finest" set of them, or why you should buy only from a particular company and praising the company's name. That's more like conformity.

I'm just conforming to the format of the thread.

For purely the act of getting nutrients into your body, utensils have zero to exceedingly minimal use. Better examples of tools are kitchen knives, butcher's knives, pots, spatulas.

Show me one food you can only eat with utensils.

I can't prove it, but I swear you just have a grudge against me xD

Today I had a nightmare where people were going to kill me for not conforming, and that I just needed to shut up and conform.
