Comments on: El Buffet de Viernes http://www.wastedfood.com/2010/01/29/el-buffet-de-viernes/ a look at how America squanders nearly half of its food Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:08:15 +0000 hourly 1 By: ken carpenter http://www.wastedfood.com/2010/01/29/el-buffet-de-viernes/comment-page-1/#comment-229553 ken carpenter Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:54:51 +0000 http://www.wastedfood.com/2010/01/29/el-buffet-de-viernes/#comment-229553 Jonathan, We met on the way up to dinner on Monday night at El cerro st. lucia. Presidenta Sra. Bachelet was speaking. I was reading your last 3 posts about Chile and glad you enjoyed the great fruit from naturally grown items here in chile. Regarding the corn, I was surprised as well at the size, not sure why it is so much larger than sweet or feeder corn in the states. It could be that the north america used smaller corn for a consistent size of harvesting mechanically. Perhaps the corn in Chile is the actual natural size. I wasn't able to hear your presentation, but thanks for posting it here. I look forward to reading your other posts. Saludos, Ken Jonathan,

I too have had the amazing opportunity to travel through Chile...and their fresh juice might better be described as juice-art (yes, despite the heat this time of year!) Also, thanks for the link to the Good Mag. response to the NYTimes article. Children are indeed like sponges and I can't help but assume that learning these kinds of habits young will help them maintain a healthy relationship with their bodies and food throughout their lives! Thanks for this post!
