Intellectual
property
(IP)
is
a
product
of
the
mind
that
has
mercial
value
．
The
concept
dates
back
to
1623,when
the
first
patent
law
to
protect
IP rights was passed
．
IP rights protect an artist from having his/her
creative ideas copied by another
．
For example, if somebody generates an
idea
for
a
novel,
that
idea
is
protected
by
IP
rights
．
If
someone
else
wishes
to
represent
the
idea
or
develop
it
further,
he/she
must
consult
the
original
artists,
who
will
normally
be
rewarded
financially
for
its
use
．
Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to
protect
newly
developed
manufacturing
processes
against
stealing,
but
today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create
music, art and literature
．


In
recent
years,
IP
rights
have
been
the
focus
of
a
great
deal
of
discussion
because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the
Internet
．
Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would
have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store
．
In
those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult
to obtain intellectual property without paying for it

However, a lot of

the

by

While tofu is a household name in Asia, it has still not been pletely accepted into the Western
kitchen. When it arrived in the West, tofu found itself sitting alone in
the
food
playground,
ignored
by
the
other
kids.
And
when
tofu
did
make
friends,
it
was
only
with
the
open-minded,
peace-loving
vegetarians sometimes referred to as“hippies”.



Why is it that such a staple(
主要的
)ingredient in the East has been
subject
to(
遭受
)such
discrimination
in
the
West?
Well,
tofu
quite
literally(
简直
)missed
the
boat.
Tofu
originated
in
China
some
2,
000
years ago. But when the Europeans first arrived in China they ignored it.
While
rice
was
embraced
with
open
arms
and
brought
home
with
popular acclaim(
称赞
), tofu followed later and with much less success.



Growing up in Australia I only had a vague notion of what tofu was. It was just last year, when I

lived in the Dutch town of Maastricht, that we were really introduced. In that town, lots of students
choose to live in“squats”—
old run-down factories rented out for very cheap prices. One of these
squats
holds
a“Vegan
Dinner”every
Monday.
In
the
dishes
served
there,
tofu
was
a
staple
and
I
found that I quite liked it!



Slowly but surely tofu is being accepted into mainstream Western cooking circles. In March,
the
singer
Justin
Timberlake
dressed
up
in
a
tofu
suit for
a
sketch(
短剧
)on
NBC’s show
Saturday
Night Live to promote the silky food. And notable UK food experts such as Nigel Slater and Fuchsia
Dunlop are singing tofu’s praises as well. As Slater writes in
an article published in
The Guardian, “I
think
the
Chinese
know
what
they
are
talking
about
and
I
must
give
their
beloved
dou-
fu(yet)another
chance”.
He
found
that
when
cooked
with
chilli,
garlic
and
ginger,
tofu was a
very wele guest at his dinner party!
