Now, you say they are like us. When's the last time you smacked a kid around for eating left-handed? I can bring someone in here, and he will tell you he got smacked around pretty good for eating left-handed (gee..he's left-handed...big surprise that he wanted to use his left hand.) All this because their proph thought people wouldn't overeat so much if they had to use just one hand to eat with.
