cause of the amount consumed.

LlapingachosNachosRecommended Daily Intake
WHAT VALUES ARE REFLECTED? 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)
