I strongly agree to where US diet revolves and yes it’s really ridiculous that we have to pay for the healthy market.

Yes, I was shocked at the state of vegetables and prices in the US. I feel like the entire US diet revolves sick amounts of dairy, carbs and starchy veggies, processed food, and copious amounts of meat.

Although yes, there is a healthy market too, but you have to pay for it, which seems ironic. I am going to be blogging about this.

Funny you mention Boca burger. I am making a big batch of homemade veggie burgers this weekend to freeze! Cheers.

A good substitute for cranberry beans here are Peruvian beans. They can be found in most supermarkets in S. Cal now.

And you’re right..its very easy to be vegetarian here..in a hurry its easy for me to reach for a boca burger.

Those corn are “humeros” and are used both in this dish and to make tamales and pastel de choclo, corn pie. The only way you can get fat from this dish is by overeating. It is pretty low fat and wholesome as is.

I was amazed on my recent trip to the US how easy it is to be vegetarian. Although all that fake vegan cheese, hot dogs, etc. is yuck processed stuff. I miss having ready made almond milk. I make that myself (and almond butter and hummus). It makes you appreciate the convenience, that is for sure.

Thanks for chiming in!

Your photo is making me fat!

Hey what’s up with those very large corn I saw in Chilean ferias last time I was down there?
