Chopping Onions Without Crying

I don't know if any of you hate chopping onions as much as I do. Every time I do, my eyes start watering immediately and I look like I've been crying for days. The worst thing is, I love onions so much that I can't avoid them!

I decided that I must figure out some ways to make it less tormenting for myself so I started researching tips on how to chop onions without crying. Below are some of the most common methods. I think I must start trying some of these.

Today's post is not just all about food, but I actually wanted to talk about what the verb CHOP means. To chop something means to cut something into small pieces or to cut off. We can chop anything that's solid, for example, chop carrots, chop wood, chop onions, chop my hair. The past tense of CHOP is CHOPPED.

Another important thing to remember is that we don't always have to use the verb CHOP when we cut something physically, but we can also use it to mean cancel, remove, or terminate.
For example, "The business program will be chopped next quarter" or "Please chop off the last paragraph of your essay."

Are there any other methods that you've heard about to prevent crying when chopping onions? Please share with me! I really need any advice I could get!
