LZ is writing a thesis. The book about the differences between Chinese and Western diets I have not seen foreigners finished writing Chinese people did not give the translation. So I looked for some English books. There are chapters in there that mention this. I'll list them for you, hope it helps.

"Diet and Life" Cui Caihong Foreign Languages Publishing House "Saying China in English" Shen Guangyu Science and Technology Literature Publishing House "Read a little bit of British and American culture every day" Cui Hee-chul Publishing House Forgot. The American Culture in English edited by Yang Zheng and reviewed by Anthony Martin The English Culture in English by Xiao Ran is the same publisher as the one I forgot above.

I also found some papers on my own. If LZ is writing a paper Welcome to discuss.
