When you place a food order in Brazil, you can forget about it arriving in a refrigerated 18 wheeler, vacuum packed and stored in sealed boxes, stacked from floor to ceiling. Here the food is purchased as locally as possible and transported as inexpensively as possible - usually in one of these old school Volkswagon Vans. This one was parked outside of a local live market where they were unloading the daily products. While some people would be disgusted by the "display," I find the lack of synthetic packaging very comforting. It helps make the connection, which so many people today often forget, that food actually comes from a farm...from nature. My experience with food here in Brazil has helped me remember and appreciate this fact.
