Anglo countries tend to be more biased towards wheat as a staple versus rice in the east. Whereas rice can be consumed in a minimally processed state, it's rare to see anyone consume wheat berries; it's almost always processed by striping the germ, grinding, bleaching, and then subsequent enriching. Pastas, pizzas, breads, burger buns, tortillas, flat breads -- all would be considered more on the processed end of the spectrum.
Likewise with cheeses and preserved meats; while still present historically in Asia, it is certainly not consumed at the same volume as in Anglo countries. Likely this has a basis in climate where techniques for processing and preserving food in the northern hemisphere is critical for civilization due to the shorter growing season and more extreme winters whereas the population dense parts of Asia tend to be in warmer climates that support year-round agriculture. (Preservation techniques also tend to differ as we examine cultures going northwards from the equator).
Perhaps the more apropos distinction is "wheat staple culture" versus "rice staple culture" (but that roughly aligns with the Anglo West and Asian East)
