Part2 Listening and Note-taking

Frog legs

People want frogs mostly for food. Many Asian cultures have included frog

legs in their diets for centuries -- or at least until they have run out of

frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the United States are the French. By 1977 the French

government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned

commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and

Bangladesh for frogs.

As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also

turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from

government agencies, the United States imported more than million pounds of

frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.

So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the

United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact

that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a

pound of frozen frog's legs from India cost about ￡, compared with ￡ for

the French variety.

Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs

are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops

by devouring damaging

since the India and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become

the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no

matter what country the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The

legs once belonged to frogs are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs

are nearly impossible to farm economically in the countries where frogs are

commercially harvested from the wild.
