And, that they feed chickens, in particular GM grains from the US, and use so much hormonrpe, that the chickens can barely stand. Also, I read that the Mercado's just SAY things aren't sprayed, and that even though there's regulation for the "organic" label, it's no real enforcement. I'd love to believe what you say instead because I'm moving there, but I've seen so much conflicting stuff in the last year. I'd like the address and directions to the secondhand store too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427976909090423825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-12546820250054767972013-06-22T06:28:57.642-07:002013-06-22T06:28:57.642-07:00Hi Camille,

I have been researching EC for over a year now. Today I came across your blog and THANK you so much for sharing with us all! Your attitude seems to be just what it takes to really enjoy being an expat. I would love to meet you both when I come your way!

Bo and I buy a fresh pineapple every few days - they are sooooo sweet and fresh here. We continue to enjoy the fresh produce - but we have to eat it within a few days because it ripens and spoils so quickly. Another reason we love living 4 blocks from the mercado. There is talk of bringing GMO into this country. I pray it doesn't happen. For now, we love the health benefits of living here. Stay in touch and may you continue to enjoy our blog and journey.<br />Linda<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-48666863945876394232013-03-23T09:48:53.009-07:002013-03-23T09:48:53.009-07:00I was reading on a FB post this week the health va...I was reading on a FB post this week the health values of pineapple, and I thought of you. The pineapple we get here in OR is often flavorless because it was picked before being ripe, and how blessed you are there to get all non-GMO, organic fruit and veggies. WOW!

Let us know when you want to get together and we're there. I'll be happy to show you the thrift store too. We continue to stay budget aware, and it's working for us! We're certainly not deprived at all on this budget. You'll definitely shed pounds just walking daily around this beautiful city and eating all the fresh and abundant produce from the vendors and markets. See you both in April - woohoo!!<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-88984772484620964662013-03-19T11:29:34.592-07:002013-03-19T11:29:34.592-07:00If we move there I hope to find that thrift store....If we move there I hope to find that thrift store. Your budget sounds pretty close to our target of $1500 a month (if we move there). Oh, and congrats on the 10# weight loss. Getting healthier is one of our goals, too.<br /><br />Hope we can meet up when we visit next month!<br /><br />[Hope this posts...having trouble with getting the stupid word verification to work.
