I'd imagine what he is referring to is real food vs. processed food. While certainly these days Mexicans pound plenty of junk food, their actual meals
are basically some type of meat, fish or seafood, corn tortillas, and veggies, although the range of veggies they use is fairly limited. In other
words, meals aren't Kraft dinner or pizza pops.
One thing I like about driving through Mexico is that you can stop at almost any little hole in the wall cafe, and there are lots of them, and get a
decent meal, whereas driving across Canada or the US, all you have are chain restaurants, unless you actually get off the highway and go into a town.

| Quote: | Today, CDC is announcing that the Order requiring persons to show a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before
boarding a flight to the United States, will be rescinded, effective on June 12, 2022 at 12:01AM ET.
This means that starting at 12:01AM ET on June 12, 2022, air passengers will not need to get tested and show the COVID-19 test result or documentation
of recovery from COVID-19 prior to boarding a flight to the U.S.
The COVID-19 pandemic has now shifted to a new phase, due to the widespread uptake of highly effective COVID-19 vaccines, the availability of
effective therapeutics, and the accrual of high rates of vaccine- and infection-induced immunity at the population level in the United States. Each of
these measures has contributed to lower risk of severe disease and death across the United States. As a result, this requirement which was needed at
an earlier stage in the pandemic may be withdrawn. CDC continues to recommend that those travelers boarding a flight to the U.S. get tested for
current infection with a viral test as close to the time of departure as possible (no more than 3 days) and not travel if they are sick.
CDC continues to evaluate the latest science and state of the pandemic and will reassess the need for a testing requirement if the situation changes.
CDC will communicate any updates publicly if and/or when they change. |

Well, for me...far more fruit, more fish and shrimp, juice rather than coffee and coke, enchiladas and burritos and refried beans rather than burgers
and chips that we commonlt grab when hungry here.

Typically when we visit Todos Santos we try to rent a casita with a good kitchen; this way we can prepare most of our own meals from fresh, local
ingredients and save dining out for special occasions.

If maseca is another word for masa flour, it is made with "real corn" that is treated to turn it into hominy, which makes great tortillas! Try making
them from regular corn meal and let me know how you like them.

I forgot that this thread was about covid19 test requirements. Sorry for being part of the hijack, but at least we didn't get all political!

Traditional food of indigenous Mexicans included human flesh. Tacos humano probably more healthy than bag of Takis.
P.s. here is an interesting article on air in airplanes: https://www.yahoo.com/news/took-co2-detector-flight-showed-1...
Woke!

Reading Conquistadores by Fernando Cervantes at the moment. There was definitely lots of human flesh devoured by the locals. Quite a few of Cortes'
men ended up on the menu.
