  11. How do these two meals compare?

  12. Ecuador is a small agricultural country - A huge national distribution system not required • Ecuador’s land for producing food is rich. Therefore: • The food is fresher • Preservatives are not as required - Manure still used more prevalently than fertilizer • No seasons in Ecuador - many fresh fruits available all year round (e.g., berries, papaya) • Lots of lush grass available for cattle grazing - Dairy products both nutritious and delicious - Can purchase fresh, raw milk by the pail • Corn, beans and potatoes are the basics • The basic starch is corn and potatoes (very different from the U.S.!) • US: 3,666 Calories (Overeating) • Ecuador: 2,531 Calories (close to recommended daily intake) What values are reflected?

  13. 1.What is the staple food of the diet? 2.What is the secondary food of the diet? 3.What is the supplement of the grain and vegetable diet? 4. How much refined foods are consumed? 5. What is the packaging of the foods? What determines a sustainbale diet?
