She and her husband, Francisco (sitting behind her, at right), live outside the village of Caviana with three of their four grandchildren in a house built by his grandfather. They raise cattle to earn income?and sometimes a sheep or two to eat themselves?but generally they rely on their daily catch of fish, and eggs from their chickens, for animal protein. They harvest fruit and Brazil nuts on their property and buy rice, pasta, and cornmeal from a store in Caviana. They also purchase Solange's favorite soft drink made from guarana?a highly caffeinated berry indigenous to the country.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Munna Kailash a rickshaw driver ferries his wife, niece, and son on a shopping trip in  in Varanas, Utta Pradesh province, India,. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in the month of April was 2400 kcals. He is 45 years old; 5 feet, 6 inches; and 106 pounds.

A typical puller in a big city earns about $4 to $5 (USD) per day. Although slower than two-cycle smoke-spewing auto-rickshaws, bicycle rickshaws don't pollute the air, and the only heat they add to the atmosphere is from the bodies of their drivers.

  • Lan Guihua (right), a widowed farmer, and her neighbor bleed a freshly killed chicken at her home in Ganjiagou Village, Sichuan Province, China. (She is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets). The caloric value of her day's worth of food on a typical day in June was 1900 kcals. She is 68 years of age; 5 feet, 3 inches tall; and 121 pounds. Her farmhouse is tucked into a bamboo-forested hillside beneath her husband's grave, and the courtyard opens onto a view of citrus groves and vegetable fields. Chickens and dogs roam freely in the packed-earth courtyard, and firewood and brush for her kitchen wok are stacked under the eaves. Although homegrown vegetables and rice are her staples, chicken feathers and a bowl that held scalding water for easier feather plucking are clues to the meat course of a special meal for visitors. In this region, each rural family is its own little food factory and benefits from thousands of years of agricultural knowledge passed down from generation to generation.  She lives in the area of Production Team 7 of Ganjiagou Village, 1.5 hours south of the provincial capital of Sichuan Province?Chengdu.

  • Lan Guihua, a widowed farmer, oversees the cooking of lunch for guests and neighbors at her home in Ganjiagou Village, Sichuan Province, China. (She is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets). The caloric value of her day's worth of food on a typical day in June was 1900 kcals. She is 68 years of age; 5 feet, 3 inches tall; and 121 pounds. Her farmhouse is tucked into a bamboo-forested hillside beneath her husband's grave, and the courtyard opens onto a view of citrus groves and vegetable fields. Chickens and dogs roam freely in the packed-earth courtyard, and firewood and brush for her kitchen wok are stacked under the eaves. Although homegrown vegetables and rice are her staples, chicken feathers and a bowl that held scalding water for easier feather plucking are clues to the meat course of a special meal for visitors. In this region, each rural family is its own little food factory and benefits from thousands of years of agricultural knowledge passed down from generation to generation.  She lives in the area of Production Team 7 of Ganjiagou Village, 1.5 hours south of the provincial capital of Sichuan Province?Chengdu.
