It's the race. Who said we don't eat enough veggie and short of waters?\n\nMy opinion is the opposite. Asian eats lots veggies, got more varieties because of the climate. And rain..? Most of Asians live in tropical country. Got enough sunshine and never short of rain. \n\nAsians are shorter, part of the reasons might be the genetics, the food --europeans and americans rarely eat rice, eat lots of red meat eg. see how the japanese got hundreds variety of veggie, they even eat flowers!-- and also the climate.

If you simply mean the Eastern and Western hemispheres, then the Prime Meridian (the 0 degree line of longitude) is what divides the world into Eastern and Western hemispheres for pure coordinates.\n\nIf you mean the Eastern and Western cultural traditions, then there is no "line" but if you wanted to draw a distinct boundary:\nThe Western world can be defined as the world order that derives most of its cultural knowledge from the tradition of the Mediterrean cultures: Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Christians and the European cultures. So the Western world include the Americas, Europe, Australia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nThe Eastern world can be defined as the main cultural centers that did not develop out of this Mediterranean worldview, including China, India, and Japan. So, most of Asia is definitely included in the Eastern world. \n\nThe Islamic worldview can be categorized as either Eastern or Western. While Islam, as a monotheistic religion, has its roots in the same Abrahamic faith tradition as Judiasm and Christianity, it  remained culturally isolated from the continued growth of European culture, through the Renaissance and age of colonialism. So it has western roots, but is no longer part of the western tradition, and so some might automatically associate it as eastern by default.\n\nThe definitions between these world views were predominantly decided by Westerners, who simply saw the Islamic, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese (and other Asian cultures) as non-Western traditions and lumped them all together as Eastern, when in fact there are major differences between the main worldviews that developed in the Islamic world, India, China and Japan.

I am assuming you are basing your statement on the many television shows you watch. \nHaving lived in both the East and West, I would dare to say that your statement has no basis. There are people in both who may satisfy your statement, but I am pretty sure it in a minority.\nBTW you need to get off your couch and improve your neighborhood instead of bashing other cultures.

Depends on whether you travel east or west.

I assume you mean traditional Chinese medicine and not modern Chinese medicine.  Traditional Chinese medicine has a 2,000 year history of experience with natural remedies, such as the medicinal use of herbs, the healing properties of different kinds of foods like fruits and vegetables, and the effects of different food combinations.  Western medicine is not aware of, and does not recognize most of these remedies.  Also, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes health in the sense that its focus is on maintaining harmony and balance in the body, whereas Western medicine emphasizes disease in the sense that its main focus is treating someone who is already ill instead of preventing the illness in the first place.

Yes, it is not easy as an interpreter when having meals, both parties may get excited about the food & wine (may be getting drunk too) and talk to each other with different languages and while having food in their mouths without giving you enough time to think or translate, and usually the interpreter has no time to eat!\n\nI would translate them as follows\n\n東坡肘子 - Su Dong Po or Hangzhou style braised pig knuckles with soy sauce  \n\n梅菜扣肉 - Cantonese (Hakka) style steamed pork belly with soy sauce and Chinese pickles\n\nP.S.  to those who don't know who's Dong Po :\n\nSu Dong Po or Su Shi (1037 - 1101) was a very famous  poet / painter / politician in Sung Dynasty who also well known as one of the "Three Sus" in Chinese Literture with his father and his younger brother.  He also wrote about recipes and food in his poem or essays, this dish is name after him and people believes that he invented this recipe when he was the governer of Hangzhou.

One religion hmmm this is intresting, i guess that i would pick commandments that focused on helping others and promoting a society that attempts to help others, Christanity has some good guidelines in that department, also eastern religions focus on an idividuals place in the world definitly useful. Just stay away from the dietary laws... i like food in general.

It because of fast food culture in the US. Consumer may have more choices but sadly it not healthily food. While other countries may have less food their diet has less fat and less sugar. For example in certain parts of the world they don’t have heart diseases. In Japan a study was done where by Japanese women who didn’t eat fast food breast cancer was unheard of. But those who live in Tokyo and ate a western diet had a risk of breast cancer. The result was that the local Japanese women living in the local countryside ate more fish and ate the traditional Japanese diet had low blood pressure. Example in Africa bowel cancer in unheard of yet, it quite common in the west. The French seems to be slim and healthy compare to the US.

Your question doesn't make much sense... "East" is a notion defined in terms of the Earth's surface, and where "East" points relative to _you_ in space rotates once a day as you rotate on the surface of the Earth.\n\nIf you give a specific point on Earth, and a specific time, someone could answer this question for you.

It is a ways to the east of its starting position.  The exact distance would depend upon the latitude of the location(s) in question which I don't know off-hand.  (Thought now I am curious and will probably look them up and do the math after posting this!)\n\nThe reason for the discrepancy is that the surface of the earth is the surface of a sphere, or more accurately an ellipsoid, and the definition of "east" and "west" are simply that the north and south poles are to your sides as you travel.\n\nIt can easily be illustrated by supposing that the swallow were to travel from the equator to, say, within about 1.27km of the north pole, and then travel only 1km east.  At that distance from the north pole, a 1km trip east (remember, the definition of east is to "keep the north pole to your left") would make a QUARTER CIRCLE around the north pole.  Then, the swallow travels south again all the way to the equator.  It is clear that both the north and south trips would be equal.  However, it would then have to travel westward one quarter of the way around the equator to reach its starting point, or about 10,020km!  Quite a far cry from the 1km east that it travelled.

Alot more than you think...\n\nMost of our words are derived from European roots.  Most of our food is European based.  Most of the good Rock and Roll from the 70's were from a European country (England).

Many Americans (or Westerners in general, for that matter) have no experience with the 'proper' table manners of other nations.  I was raised in a British family, so I have distinctly European table manners that seem very strange to Americans, who eat with their forks in their right hand.\n\nMany of us have never seen a Chinese family eating with correct table manners, so we have no way to learn.  \n\nThe worst example I've found is during one of my trips to America; a family was using chopsticks for the first time, and had never seen such food or utensils before.  They did not know what to do with large pieces of food, so they did the best they could to force enormous chunks of meat into their mouths, chewing with their mouths wide open.\n\nI was fortunate enough to have a Chinese aunt, who taught me the etiquette of eating with chopsticks, but we have to consider that there are people that do not know anyone that has ever been taught proper manners with them.  Nothing about seeing a pair of chopsticks suggests to a new diner that food should be passed with the thick end of them!  \n\nHow could they know if no one ever taught them?
