       | It's particularly interesting to me how their meals shifted when
       | changing war circumstances forced them into more conservative
       | cooking setups. But I really enjoyed this article for the look
       | into sustenance cooking while trying to remain low profile.
       | 
       | I am quite curious if the flour they acquired was hand-ground in
       | querns out of rice and corn or if it was one of the "luxuries"
       | they had to trade for.

       | where kitchen duties have fallen on the shoulders of women,
       | unlike their time in the guerrilla, when men and women cooked as
       | equals.
       | 
       | What a terrible shame. Without passing any judgement, going from
       | an equal society created from desperation, since being given what
       | they need to survive, returning to one of traditional roles.

         | It was never an "equal society" +90% of the guerillas were men,
         | as it always have been through time in all societies. Men are
         | the ones who must fight.

             | So one set of anthropologists didn't know something, which
             | means that all of them don't? Is that your assertion?
             | 
             | Seems kinda weird to go from "an anthropologist learned
             | something" to "anthropologists are finally studying a
             | thing".

         | remote wilderness and may even be upstream of the cocaine labs
         | where there won't be too much contamination.
         | 
         | the process can be accelerated with a simple gravel and sand

         | Daily rainfall and a banana leaf should do you right.
