Fast food places have many fried chicken dishes. But why is there no fried duck?
A. Fried duck has bad bacteria（细菌）.
B. Fried chicken is cheaper to buy.
C. Fried duck does not taste as good as fried chicken.
D. Fried duck is hard to make.
The right answer is C. People raise both chickens and ducks for their meat， but they are different.
Ducks live in water. There， bacteria grow easily. So， ducks have special genes（基因）to protect them from the bacteria. These genes make ducks fatter. Chicken meat has 6.7 percent fat， but duck meat has 19.7 percent fat.
Fried duck tastes too oily（油的）. Duck meat also has thick fibers（纤维）and less water， so it tastes dry when fried. What’s more， ducks have a special smell. They have a part near the tail that makes oil. This oil smells bad when the duck meat is fried.
