GUA02.0005.xxf1s During the All Saints Day festival there seems to be no stigma attached to inebriation. The alcohol-altered state is not for adults only; a surprising number of young boys stagger around, and anyone with the money to buy a drink gets served—no questions asked. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 159). /// This image is featured alongside the Mendoza family images in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The Mendoza family of Todos Santos Cuchumatán, Guatemala, is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks’ worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The family consists of Fortunato Pablo Mendoza, 50, and Susana Pérez Matias, 47, and their children Cristolina, 19, Xtila, 17, Ignacio, 15, Juan, 12, and Marcelucia, 9. Sandra Ramos, 11, live-in helper also eats with the family. (Please refer to Hungry Planet book p. 156-157 for a family portrait [Image number GUA02.0001.xxf1s] including a weeks’ worth of food, and the family’s detailed food list with total cost.)
