  • Sunrise at the Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad. Another day of waiting begins. It's November, two months after the rainy season but not yet the hot season. Smoke from cookfires chimneys up into the sky; women sweep the dirt in front of their tents; children walk to the water depot with empty plastic containers; roosters crow and donkeys bray into the desert air, which is beginning to lose its nighttime chill. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 58).

They were attacked by coalition aircraft and it is estimated that several thousand retreating Iraqis died..

  • Peter Menzel's first reaction to eating a live jumil, or flying stink bug (Euchistus taxcoensis), at the Jumil Festival. The insect attempted to escape from his mouth.

  • Bob Sorensen, a golf course assistant superintendent, picks vegetables in his backyard garden at his home in Grand Junction, Colorado. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a day in the month of September was 3,600 kcals. He is 25 years of age; 5 feet,  11 inches tall and 175 pounds. Switching career paths from criminal justice to turf maintenance enabled Bob to escape a desk job and work outdoors in a picturesque Western landscape. Some of his work is physical, but technology makes his irrigation chores easier. From one of many rock outcrops overlooking the lush fairways and greens in the dry, high desert valley, he can control a matrix of sprinklers with a single radio controller. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Abdel Karim Aboubakar, a Sudanese refugee at the Breidjing Refugee Camp in Eastern Chad. (Abdel Karim Aboubakar is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a typical day in the month of November was 2300 kcals. He is 16 years of age; 5 feet 9.5 inches tall; and 110 pounds. Aboubakar escaped over the border from the Darfur region of Sudan into eastern Chad with his mother and siblings, just ahead of the Janjaweed militia that were burning villages of black Sudanese tribes. Like thousands of other refugees, they were accepted into the camp program administrated by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees. Their meals are markedly similar to those they ate in their home country; there's just less of it. They eat a grain porridge called aiysh, with a thin soup flavored with a dried vegetable or sometimes a small chunk of dried meat if Abdel Karim's mother has been able to work in a villager's field for a day or two. MODEL RELEASED. .
