People who make noises while eating should be locked up far away from civilized society.

    I know this is a tongue-in-cheek thread and it's cute and a bit funny.

    But parents: PLEASE, please, teach your children table manners - starting at an early age. Even if you have to buy a 2nd hand, Miss Manners etiquette book from a thrift shop showing you exactly what table manners are and why they matter.

    Then pass that invaluable information down to your impressionable children and enforce it at the meal table. Every. Time.

    For the good of society. Please.

    Because table manners, or lack thereof, start at home.

    I agree with you 100%. I'm a teacher. Every day I look around the cafeteria, and it is clearly evident which kids never sit at a table with their families to eat and carry on a conversation. They are hunched over their trays, shoveling food in as fast as they can, almost like an animal. It makes me so sad. Years ago, we used to include etiquette and manners into our curriculum. Now the standardized testing stakes are so high, that teaching those skills has gone by the wayside.
