When will someone lock up this commie bitch.
- munk-a 5y agoIt's particularly interesting to me how their meals shifted when changing war circumstances forced them into more conservative cooking setups. But I really enjoyed this article for the look into sustenance cooking while trying to remain low profile. I am quite curious if the flour they acquired was hand-ground in querns out of rice and corn or if it was one of the "luxuries" they had to trade for.
- FigmentEngine 5y agoNever really understood how they fed them on Hoth either.
- seanalexander 5y agoFARC is not the rebel alliance.
- latenightcoding 5y agoI have been wild camping a lot recently and I'm more curious about how they get enough drinkable water for everyone.
- ruined 5y agoif you have a day or two in one spot, it's easy enough to purify surface water with a 50-gallon food-grade drum for settling and a few capfuls of bleach. they operate in pretty remote wilderness and may even be upstream of the cocaine labs where there won't be too much contamination. the process can be accelerated with a simple gravel and sand filter, and if you're thirsty enough nobody really minds crunchy water
- unixhero 5y ago>if you're thirsty enough nobody really minds crunchy water Nature can fuck up the water by itself. Such as dead and rotting animals in the waterways, which is very common. So I would say a persons' preferences is not too relevant here.
- aunty_helen 5y agoThe article mentions Choco, the wettest place in the world. Daily rainfall and a banana leaf should do you right.
- antihero 5y ago> But after the government built houses for each former FARC member and their families, everyone started cooking at home, where kitchen duties have fallen on the shoulders of women, unlike their time in the guerrilla, when men and women cooked as equals. What a terrible shame. Without passing any judgement, going from an equal society created from desperation, since being given what they need to survive, returning to one of traditional roles.
- Ostrogodsky 5y agoIt was never an "equal society" +90% of the guerillas were men, as it always have been through time in all societies. Men are the ones who must fight.
- peteretep 5y agoA quick Google has about 40% of FARC as being women; do you have a better source? https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/09/farc-deal-female-fighters/501644/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/09/fa...
- pm90 5y agoIt’s a common theme across cultures that when farming is invented then division of labor falls along predictable lines. In this case, I’m guessing it’s implied that men were working in the fields?
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoIn Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell mentions this happened as well. Almost as if it's a natural human behavior or something.
- unixhero 5y agoOf course it is. The men use physical strength in the fields for gathering or hunting, while the women take care of children whom reaction for them and want their support.
- anigbrowl 5y agoAnthropologists, discovering for the first time what military people have known and written extensively about for literally thousands of years.
- ashtonkem 5y agoWhat makes you think this is the first time anthropologists have studied military food? That’s quite an extraordinary claim.
- anigbrowl 5y agoGoing by their professions of astonishment, if appears to be the first time these anthropologists have thought about it.
- ashtonkem 5y agoSo one set of anthropologists didn’t know something, which means that all of them don’t? Is that your assertion? Seems kinda weird to go from “an anthropologist learned something” to “anthropologists are finally studying a thing”.
- anigbrowl 5y agoIf it were well-studied by anthropologists in general then these anthropologists wouldn't be so surprised about it. Either they didn't do even cursory research before beginning their study or they're hyping their findings for attention. Also, I think you that understand quite well.
