Yet, in terms of health and wellness, or at least in terms of healthy lifestyles, the people of this southern country seem to be in much better shape. The streets in their cities and villages are filled with stands of fruits and vegetables. The abundance is hard to fathom. Even harder to imagine is the number of people buying these foods. Breakfast always starts with fresh fruit not just one, but often two or three.
Vegetables are also a main staple of the diet.
I saw very few overweight and obese people. For transportation, walking and biking still seem very operative. Not power walking, not bike racing, but as a means to get from one place to another. I m sure. Not a new one, but one that bears repeating.
