    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    Based on my own experience of living in Mexico for four and a half years followed by living in Argentina for 14 years, I'll take the Argentine culture, cuisine, and climate over the culture, cuisine and climate of Mexico, all day, every day, seven days a week three hundred, sixty-five days of...

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years

    I think it is accurate to say that Argentines eating less than 2kg of red meat per month are not eating the "carnivore" diet... ...and their health problems are likely due to the excess consumption of sugar and other high carb or highly processed foods: grains, fruit juices, legumes, seed oils...

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years

    PS to my previous post: I also consume butter, which I add to my coffee...with a pinch of sea salt, which is the only seasoning I use when cooking meat on a plancha de hierro. I have now mentioned everything I consume, and red meat is now just about 50% of the daily total (by weight), though...

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years

    Why did you assume that the fat content of beef I eat is 85%, especially without knowing what cuts I buy or how much red meat I eat on a daily basis. A quick search on Google will provide significantly lower fat percentages for leaner cuts. Beef and Fat | ThinkBeef...

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years

    Five years ago, at the tender age of 68, I would have agreed with this 100%. Since then, based on my personal experience, especially over the past 18 months, I have come to the inescapable conclusion that grass fed Argentine beef (aka red meat) is the the healthiest and "most healing" source of...

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    I am actually living on the outskirts of Punta Alta which is "near" Bahía Blanca but in a different.municipalidad, so, fortunately, the only reason I have to go.anywhere.near.(but not into Bahía Blanca) is the drive to the airport to meet an occasional visitor. Punta Alta has everything that I...

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    The only way the "current situation" has affected my life in Argentina has been the recent increase in the cost of living, particularly the increases in the cost of food and fuel. That being said, I seriously doubt that I could enjoy life anywhere else in the world as much as in Argentina...

    Anyone know where to find a SAD lamp?

    I could not find them in Mercado libre. Here is a list of SAD lamps (from Amazon) that offer shipping (not free) to Argentina: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=seasonal+affective+disorder+lamps&crid=3AZA97KSB5TFN&sprefix=seasonal+affective%2Caps%2C599&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_18

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    "Molido" means the coffee beans have been ground in a mill. The coffees with added sugar usually have the words "torrado equilibrado" on the label.

    Looking for corn syrup (Karo)

    After two Google seatches, and, in agreement with and support of wineguy999's post, I simply provided a "full" definition of the words "corn syrup" followed by an explaination of the difference between "corn" and "Karo" syrup.

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    Here are two related videos. One favors Chile. The other favors Argentina. Both are in Spanish, so some may find the narration difficult to understand. Those who have a desire to not only survive WWIII, but also thrive in either Argentina or Chile in the aftermath might find mastery of the...

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    It might be "safe" (and not a paranoid delusion) to say that the world is now on the brink of WWIII. As "predicted" in an arguably "end of the world" (or civilization as we know it, beginning with utter devistation in the northern hemispere) youtube video published in 2023: In the past few...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    PS 2: I haven't the slightest interest in crypto, especially since I transfer 100% of my monthly foreign income to an Argentine bank and I have no reason to avoid paying Argentine taxes on it...because there aren't any.

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    PS: I am quite certain that none of my neighbors would be willing to accept crypto for anything I might want to buy from them, but I have friends in the nearby barrio who would pay my electric bill in exchange for eggs and fresh goat cheese...if I ever lose access to the banking system in the...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    You (speaking generally, of course) will wish you had bought a small (and relatively safe) chunk of land where you can grow your own food and/or have some egg laying hens and milk producing goats... ...and are surrounded by neighbors who have, at the least, done the same... ...and have...
