There was a comment on the a blog post that was excellent:
http://www.hobotraveler.com/2007/03/togo-lemonade-10-cents.html Andy,
That's a good example. There's no way to know if anything is really organic unless you work the soil yourself. And no traveler is going to stay long enough to do that!
As for lemons, they are on The George Mateljan Foundation's list of worlds healthiest foods. Nutrient density is what they look for in food and drinks. I think it's good criteria for healthy consumption.

Enjoy the lemonade.

THINKINGI have been thinking for a long time, there are foods, and there are foods that are sold. There are foods that people say to eat, however, they are not available, and often the reader has been going to some super large Walmart too much or Tesco, I think and buying too much of anything.
Anything is not available, and the list of the most Healthy Foods is by far not really available on the planet, especially getting specific.
Here is the list on this page:
http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php I took the list, and am showing what is common and available from the list, I put a number 1 next to the most common, sometimes the list does not have listed what people eat, for instance it says brown rice, and all I see is White rice, unless the brown rice really looks white.
List of food you can buy in the world easy:
VEGETABLESCucumbers 1
Garlic
Mushrooms IN CAN
Olives
Onions
Potatoes
Tomatoes
FISH AND SEAFOODShrimp - Fresh
Tuna 1 in can
FRUITSBananas 1
Grapes
Oranges
Papaya
Pineapple
Raisins
Watermelon
LOW FAT DAIRYEggs 1
BEANS AND LEGUMESLentils - Not 1, the number 1 is Kidney Beans
POULTRY AND LEAN MEATSChicken 1
NUTS AND SEEDSCashews
Peanuts 1
Sunflower seeds
GRAINSCorn
Oats
Brown Rice I do not see, white rice. 1
SPICES AND HERBSPepper something, not black
NATURAL SWEETNERS

1 is not here, brown sugar
OTHER
Soy sauce (tamari) - I have not idea if Tamari
Water 1

Example: This is bad SEO, nobody puts apostrophes.

Andy,
You show 30 out of 130 foods on the nutrient dense list that are common. I think you just may have done a breakdown of a world travelers optimum diet!
Now I wonder if you eat THAT list of 30 on a regular basis, would a traveler be getting adequate vitamins, minerals, carbs, proteins, fats, calories etc.
Interesting stuff.
