Behold the fork!- the basic tableware. Most cultures around the world have been using the fork along with the spoon as staple dining utensils. If we take a look back at European culture and history, there was none but the human hands used to shovel food right in one's mouth; and there is something 'devilish' as to how the fork made it in every home's dining table.  

Within the span of human history, people ate with their bare hands. Alexander the Great, Louis XIV, and Queen Elizabeth, and majority of the most famous elites in pre and during medieval era all have sat down to formal, exquisite dinner table along with other aristocrats, and most significant people in the land, and everyone just get to shovel down their food into their mouths like a two-year-old would.

The two-tined version of the serving fork which was used in ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece showed up in Europe as a dining utensil in the Middle Ages. The basic fork was conceived to subscribe to the great Christian tradition of oppression, censorship, and brainwashing. In a historical feature by Info Barrel, the basic dining fork was invented around the 4th Century CE during the rise of the Byzantine Empire, likely in a Persian crafting as well in the Middle East.

The impoverished, and jealous Christians brought up an idea to cast the dining utensil in condemnation because it resembles the pagan Poseidon's poker of power. Muslims, who are users of the dining fork were considered as infidels by "Christians". Middle Eastern Muslims were seen to be using little tools of the devil-a tiny pitchfork laid on their dining tables and were used to put food in their mouths. To overtly devoted Christians, "God in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks-his fingers. Hence, an insult to him to substitute artificial metal forks for them when eating."  

Today, people from around the world, Muslim or Christian doesn't mind using the fork during meals. But buying very expensive silverware however, is a way of subscribing to modern-day evils- consumerism.
