Description

Many houses contain almost no furniture; furnishings include a mud brick stove, some pots and manioc fIour (such as here in the thatched bag). A typical diet includes beans, rice, manioc and an occasional piece of meat or fish. With a diet chronically short of proteins and vitamins, sertanejos (those that live in the sertão) suffer various forms of malnutrition, especially during drought periods.Muitas casas têm muito pouca mobília, um fogão de barro, algumas panelas e farinha de mandioca (como aqui nessa sacola de palha). Uma dieta típica inclui principalmente feijão, arroz, mandioca e às vezes um pedaço de carne ou peixe. Com um dieta cronicamente deficiente em proteínas e vitaminas, os sertanejos (pessoas que vivem no sertão) sofrem de várias formas de desnutrição, especialmente durante os períodos da seca.
