Cerveza es muy importante.

Nah, if I'm on vacation in a tropical location, it's tropical drink time for me. Laying at the pool with a margharita or pina colada by my side.

With the way my My Favorite Poster and Hero has been bothering me this year, I'd be a little hesitant to eat something that can possibly bother me even more. Maybe by then the medicine I'm taking will be taking full effect and allowing me to be a little adventurous. I don't want another vacation where I miss out on things like I did several years ago in Jamaica when I got food poisoning :puker: .

If you like that, let me know if you ever want some Venison chops. I've got shitloads at the moment, and always willing to share a harvest.

Maybe, but the level of competition in the cow races is significantly lessened.

I have been to "Vacation Mexico" (Acapulco, Cancun, Mazatlan, etc) about 20 times and never once got sick eating the street vendors stuff. Almost always fresh tacos.

Also had a bunch of trips to Nogales and Tijuana, only got sick once, but that was from a Margarita in Tijuana, and it was a quick 'toss' and right back in the game.

Nogales. (I decided to delete everything I just typed here)

I like to say that it's not corn fed beef like we have here. The burgers are awful typically.

Latin American beef is typically grass fed, which is a much healthier and more environmentally sound way to raise cattle than feeding them on corn.

But tastes worse, IMO. Never been a huge fan of grass-fed beef, although considering I'm downing a Lean Pocket right now, you probably have the right to question my culinary acumen.

Care to explain how corn fed and grass fed differ in terms of the environment? Because grass is renewable and technically corn is not?

pretty much. corn requires processing....native grasses are native. they just grow.

Corn fed cows eat enormous quantities of corn and need protein supplements, antibiotics and other drugs, including growth hormones to fend off bacteria. Also to produce the corn takes more energy and produces more waste.

New York Times wrote:
We know a lot more about what 80 million acres of corn is doing to the health of our environment: serious and lasting damage. Modern corn hybrids are the greediest of plants, demanding more nitrogen fertilizer than any other crop. Corn requires more pesticide than any other food crop. Runoff from these chemicals finds its way into the groundwater and, in the Midwestern corn belt, into the Mississippi River, which carries it to the Gulf of Mexico, where it has already killed off marine life in a 12,000 square mile area.

To produce the chemicals we apply to our cornfields takes vast amounts of oil and natural gas. (Nitrogen fertilizer is made from natural gas, pesticides from oil.) America's corn crop might look like a sustainable, solar-powered system for producing food, but it is actually a huge, inefficient, polluting machine that guzzles fossil fuel - a half a gallon of it for every bushel.


Michael Pollan authored the above excerpt for the times. Anyone interested in the pernicious effects of corn on American health--including the obesity epidemic and the rise of diabetes--and the environment via the commodification of food and the industrialization of agriculture should check out Pollan's newest book, The Omnivore's Dilemma. It is an incredibly illuminating book, one of the best ever written on the food chain, the American diet, and the social and ecological effects of our agricultural system.
