If you ever go to China, or any Asian country from what I hear, but I can only speak to China, you’ll quickly realize that the taboo against eating with your mouth open or making sounds while eating is nothing more than a social/cultural norm.
Even on a flight, during meal time, with a majority Asian population, is enough to drive me insane.
Luckily China is awesome in so many other ways.
Its a matter of opinion/societal values. Not everyone instantly thinks its repulsive. The only reason I eat with my mouth shut is bevause I dont want to lose any food by having my mouth hanging open while chewing. There is at least one culture in the world that takes slurping and noises while eating as a compliment.
