Read the first part carefully, and answer the following questions.

1.What food culture difference does the passage mention between Asia and Western countries?

Things like chicken feet, duck heads, and pig brains are commonly eaten in Asia. If you asked most Westerners to try one of these things, though, the very thought would probably be enough to make them give up meat altogether. 

2.What is the double standard?

The very thought of eating things like chicken feet,duck heads and pig brains would probably be enough to make most Westerners give up meat altogether. At the same time, however, the majority of people in Western nations regard themselves as meat eaters.

 

Read the second part carefully, and answer the following question.

What could be the reasons behind this double standard?

There are a number of possible answers to that question, yet one major reason could lie in recent cultural changes.
