  • Maria Ermelinda Ayme Sichigalo, a farmer and mother of eight with her typical day's worth of food in her adobe kitchen house in Tingo village, central Andes, Ecuador. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of her typical day's worth of food in the month of September was 3800 kcals. She is 37 years of age; 5 feet, 3 inches tall; and 119 pounds. With no tables or chairs, Ermelinda cooks all the family's meals while kneeling over the hearth on the earthen floor, tending an open fire of sticks and straw. Guinea pigs that skitter about looking for scraps or spilled grain will eventually end up on the fire themselves when the family eats them for a holiday treat. Because there is no chimney, the beams and thatch roof are blackened by smoke. Unvented smoke from cooking fires accounts for a high level of respiratory disease and, in one study in rural Ecuador, was accountable for half of infant mortality.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Two villagers prepare a dish made of sago grubs (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, the larvae of Capricorn beetles), and sago flour wrapped in sago palm leaves. The packets are then roasted in the fire to prepare for eating, in Sawa Village, Irian Jaya, Indonesia. The resulting dish is like a cooked pastry, with a chewy, slightly sweet crust and the grubs taste like fishy bacon.

  • Lightning research. Scientists prepare a rocket designed to fly into a thunderstorm and trigger a bolt of lightning. The rocket trails a fine copper wire, providing an easy path for the lightning to reach Earth. This allows the scientists to measure the current, voltage and other parameters of the lightning bolts. To ensure safety, the rocket is launched by blowing through a tube to activate a pneumatic switch. This prevents the operator from making accidental electrical contact with the lightning. Photographed at Mount Baldy, New Mexico USA.

  • Vendan women prepare the termites they have collected with their termite collecting sticks from a large termite mound near their village of Masetoni, Mpumalanga, South Africa. They are cleaning the termites by rinsing them in water, and then they fry them in oil and eat them with cornmeal porridge called mielie mielie. Fried termites are nutty and crunchy. Image from the book project Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects.
