  • Maria Ermelinda Ayme Sichigalo, a farmer and mother of eight, fixes one of her daughters' hair outside her adobe house in Tingo village, central Andes, Ecuador. (Maria Ermelinda Ayme Sichigalo is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of her typical day's worth of food in the month of September was 3800 kcals. She is 37 years of age; 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 119 pounds. With no tables or chairs or stove, Ermelinda cooks all the family's meals while kneeling over the hearth on the earthen floor, tending an open fire of sticks and straw.

Because there is no chimney, the beams and thatch roof are blackened by smoke. Unvented smoke from cooking fires accounts for a high level of respiratory disease and, in one study in rural Ecuador, was accountable for half of infant mortality.  MODEL RELEASED.
