What is taboo food? Taboo food is that people avoid for health, cultural or religious reasons. Certain religions forbid the eating of certain types of meat. For example, Muslims and Jews cannot eat pork. Eating shellfish and bird of prey would also go against the religious laws of the Jews. In India, the cow is holy, thus it is not eaten.
Some food taboos are not based on religion but on traditions and customs of the society, and sometimes also on the appearance of the food. Neither dogs nor insects are eaten in Norway, Germany, the U. S. and most other western countries, but dogs are considered food in China, and insects are eaten in many countries on the planet. Dogs are a food taboo in the western world because people consider these animals their pets, their friends. Insects are not eaten because the general opinion is that these are dirty animals one doesn’t want to digest.
The food taboo of one’s culture is learnt through childhood. The taboos based on religion are not easy to change. But new types of foods are introduced on the market. They are often viewed as against traditions and therefore avoided. But later some taboos begin to change when the people have grown used to eating some kind of food and maybe also found new uses for it in their regular dishes,
In the following which is NOT the reason some food is prohibited?
选项
A、Religion.
B、Health.
C、Custom of society.
D、Not delicious.
答案
D
解析
细节题。在文章的第一段说明各国对食物禁忌的原因包括健康、社会习俗及宗教,并未涉及到美味,故符合题意的选项是D。
