Description: They have been complex in recent years for Chile, especially if we add corporate corruption and the discrediting of republican politics and institutions to the erosion of the government projects of the Concertación and the New Majority. Therefore, during a year of elections, critical reflection on the representativeness of the Poder Legislativo and, especially, the one hundred and twenty "honorable" representatives that allow or impede changes in our country become urgent. In this detailed and no less ironic analysis, the journalist Nancy Guzmán bares with humor what each deputy does and does not do, what is their real participation in the construction of laws that represent the common welfare and how they come together among "rebels", "beautiful", "pirulas", "achorados", "care staff" and "media" to justify their diet. The diet of the honorable, in addition to a satirical review of the state of affairs in the Congreso, is a brief and intense history of the same and a guide to think if these one hundred and twenty citizens are the most apt to represent us.
