Soup - bowl or spoon? -

Once again this issue has crept up on me.
I know that it is acceptable to drink from a bowl of soup, though not by western standards which I consider rather dumb and wasteful on this issue.
But if you are in an Aisan restuarant in the U.S. and a spoon is provided, do you need to use it?
It is provided for the convenience of the gaijin or would the restaurant actually be encouraging you to use spoons and discouraging drinking from the bowl?
Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.
