Fisher once wrote about humans, First we eat, then we d
7、o everything else. This is why each year we celebrate World Food Day, which falls on Oct. 16. But regardless of the importance of food around the world, food cultures often differ greatly from country to country. For example, things like chicken feet, duck heads, and pig brains are commonly eaten in
8、 Asia. If you asked most Westerners to try one of these things, though, the very thought of it would probably be enough to make them give up meat altogether. At the same time, however, the majority of people in Western nations regard themselves as meat eaters. So, what could be the reason behind thi
9、s double standard? There are a number of possible answers to that question, yet one major reason could lie in recent cultural changes. During the mid-20th century and the years following it, eating most parts of an animal was common in many Western countries such as the UK perhaps owing to rationing
10、 (定量配给政策) as a result of World War II (19391945). But later, during the 1960s and 1970s, following the introduction of highways in the US and the UK, the popularity of supermarkets in those countries increased, wrote Francesco Burnett, author of Cultural History of Meat: 1900-The Present. Thanks to
11、the popularity and convenience of supermarkets which tend not to sell animal parts such as the heads or limbs(四肢), the publics attitude to meat soon shifted. The animal gradually disappeared from meat, and peoples ignorance about what animal the meat they ate came from increased. Burnett added. As a
12、 result, its believed that many Western cultures slowly began to view meat as simply a food product, rather than as something that came from an animal. However, this theory may go even further back if we look at the words the English language uses to describe meat. We de-animalize certain foods that
13、 we eat by giving them different names, Hal Herzog, author of Why Its So Hard To Think Straight About Animals, told online magazine Grist. We dont say its cooked pig; we say its pork. And we dont say hamburger is made of cow; we say its made of beef. So it seems that theres not one simple answer to
14、this question. When it comes to eating meat, however, perhaps we should simply just enjoy the taste.1.
