Look at your teeth in the mirror. Your front teeth - the incisors - are shaped to bite and cut food while your back teeth - the molars - are shaped to crush and grind food. And, you can use utensils, like knives and forks, to help manage different types of food. It's the polite thing to do. But sharks don't worry about table manners!
