[The Pheonix]

I just read a History book, and it says that China had suffered many many famines, due to massive floodings of the Yangtze River, Droughts, negligence by the Emperors of old, etc.

This probably explains why the Chinese had learnt to eat so many varieties of animals. Why one's family is dying from starvation, why choices does one have ? To survive, you can't be too choosy

We are lucky to live in Land of Plenty

Let us thank the good Lord for this

And let us have a little compassion for the less fortunate of this Planet. AMEN

why one's family= when one's family

why choices= what choices

sorry about the above typos

"This probably explains why the Chinese had learnt to eat so many varieties of animals. Why one's family is dying from starvation, why choices does one have ? To survive, you can't be too choosy"

Somewhere I read that it is a "cuisine that evolved from hunger". I wish I had the exact words, and who quoted it.
