Food insecurity stalks Guatemala

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 01:32:04 +0000

As Mexicans in the country’s north reel from the impact of Tropical Storm Alex, residents further south in Guatemala are still struggling with the aftermath of another storm.

Tropical Storm Agatha barreled through the country last month, flooding farms and ruining a year’s harvest.

The storm only exacerbated a food crisis in the Central American country.

The World Food Programme says close to a million Guatemalans live in hunger or fear of starvation. That’s about seven per cent of the population.

More than 20 per cent of Guatemalans are undernourished as are nearly 50 per cent of children under the age of five.

But since Tropical Storm Agatha wiped out crops across the country, food insecurity has become more acute.

Al Jazeera’s David Mercer reports from San Miguel Escobar, Guatemala.

Thanksgiving Features Native American Foods

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:59:25 +0000

Each year, Americans gather with families and friends in the third week of November to celebrate Thanksgiving. The celebration usually includes a meal of turkey, sweet potatoes, squash, cornbread, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. The first Thanksgiving meal in North America is thought to have taken place in sixteen-twenty-one as European settlers gathered with Native Americans to give thanks for a successful fall harvest. Many Americans believe Thanksgiving was created by the early European settlers. But as Jeff Swicord learns at the Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C., Native Americans also played a major role

American Food in Finland

admin — Sun, 30 May 2010 09:46:22 +0000

We were out buying groceries when we came across an entire section dedicated to American food… and it reminded me of someone I met from the states who said that they were ‘pissed off’ at how expensive mac and cheese is here, when I was thinking, “why the are you buying mac and cheese in Finland?” But it also reminds me of tourists who travel the world but look for the nearest Macdonald’s to get lunch instead of trying the local cuisine… Its just sad. Why travel if you aren’t willing to experience the culture? Its seems as though they could be anywhere in the world, they aren’t taking in what is unique about their destination.

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 11:43:04 +0000

Yankin’ it in Europe: An American Guide to Studying Abroad.

Rob, after getting his fill of American food (such as buffalo wings, steak, burgers, cheesesteaks, and hot dogs), returns to London where he is met with the challenge of a group project. Naturally, he immediately escapes to Brussels, Belgium, to take in the sights (and food). He then goes to PJ’s home town of Tienen to learn how to drive a manual transmission and for a graduation party. Memory loss ensues.

Alex welcomes back to the show Robert Bowman, a former Director of Advanced Space Programs Development for the U.S. Air Force in the Ford and Carter administrations, and a former United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 101 combat missions.

In 2000, he campaigned nationwide for the nomination of the Reform Party of the United States of America for President of the United States. In some Reform Party straw polls, he polled better than the ultimate winner of the nomination Pat Buchanan.
