While people in other cultures should not have to make changes to accommodate an individual, they should make changes in their culture to accommodate reason and the greater good.
Things like persecution and bigotry have been intertwined within many cultures. There are many cultures to this day where oppressing other people is a pillar of their cultural values.
There are many things outside of persecutions where a culture could change for the better as well. Food, like the subject of this thread, is actually something that should reasonable not be tied to culture.
For example, in my home country the USA, the average American diet isn't exactly the healthiest choice. America was ranked as the fattest country for quite some time until recently being surpassed by Mexico. Now, should we, in America, where we are surrounded by fattening, greasy, American foods, change? Maybe.
