Is this punishment too much for kids staying in my home?

Gee relax a little. I understand that you are frustrated but I do think that you should give them a fork it's not like you are giving them something else to eat. Some people just can't eat with chop sticks, I can my husband can't and he tries but he just can't do it. As for not giving them food that is just WRONG I know what hunger fells like and you should never leave children w/o food how would you like it if you weren't giving food? I agree with the person who wrote that you should try to adapt to each others cultures maybe on day try making western foods and on other days make your type of food. Your best thing is to find a common ground and try to compromise but do not leave them without food.
