Halve the weight?

[Timelord]

The plastic spork weighs next to nothing & yes I agree it is not necessary. It is nice to retain some vestiges of culinary advancement. I did think I could do without it & yes I can. Weighed against this I thought - well it weighs almost nothing and may help to keep hygiene levels up more easily. I bought a white one so I could see the colour of any food/broth on it and so I could tell it was properly clean before use. I also thought it may be handy to be able to easily hold food still with the fork whilst cutting it up. I doubt I will use the knife part of it.

It would be good for stews when checking on contents or removing certain items. It may also be useful in food preparation. I will see. I can always ditch it, but it weighs next to nothing, so I probably won't need to.
