Photoessay: Food in the Americas
From Guatemala Markets to Brazilian Goat Cheese
” People give food meaning. It’s easy to trivialize because food is everywhere. But love of food is love of life.
-Barbara Haber, curator of printed books
“Famine and undernourishment are not due to lack of food availability. Rather they result from the inability of people to grow their own food or to purchase it from those that grow it.
-Otto T. Solbrig, Havard Biology Department
Spring/Summer 2001
