Why Don't Chinese Eat Cheese Or Bread?
Chinese are very poor and always have been. Chinese consume very little meat or milk as it is too expensive for them. Cheese made from milk is a luxury item that not many Chinese can afford. During the 1950's over 50 million Chinese starved to death (from Amnesty International) during the "Great Leap Foward". If you see many Chinese they often have very bad teeth that are gray due to a lack of milk. Milk is too precious to waste on cheesemaking. Chinese do not grow much wheat, instead they cultivate rice and soybeans. Wheat goes into making noodles. They do make cakes from both rice and soy which I suppose could be counted as a type of bread that is eaten during meals. Of course these days Chinese do eat non-indigenous Western foods like pizza or cheesecake and even hotdogs on a bread bun.
