Evitar el desperdicio de los alimentos perecibles o no perecibles que aún son aptos para el consumo humano y a través de la donación mitigar el hambre de las personas en situación de vulnerabilidad alimentaria es lo que busca la Asamblea con el proyecto de Ley para Prevenir y Reducir la Pérdida y el Desperdicio de Alimentos y Mitigar el Hambre de las Personas en situación de Vulnerabilidad que hoy fue tratado en segundo debate por el Pleno del Legislativo, sobre la base del informe preparado por la Comisión del Derecho a la Salud y Deporte. "Es increíble que aún con las riquezas del campo ecuatoriano, seamos el segundo país de la región con el mayor índice de desnutrición crónica infantil. Por eso, como parte de la minga por la salud que lideramos desde la Asamblea Nacional, priorizamos este proyecto de ley que busca reducir y prevenir la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, beneficiando a las personas que sufren de vulnerabilidad alimentaria, principalmente a nuestros niños, niñas y jóvenes", expresó la presidenta del Parlamento, Guadalupe Llori Abarca. En su intervención, Marcos Molina, presidente de la mesa legislativa, subrayó que la ley busca que las grandes empresas de alimentos sean solidarias y que este acto de donación no sea una alternativa sino una responsabilidad ética, que ayude a quienes más lo necesitan. Respaldo al proyecto Previo al debate, se recibió en comisión general a Rubén Salazar, de la Corporación La Favorita; Juan Pablo Grijalva, El Ordeño S. A; Andrés Seminario, del Movimiento Sobre la Mesa y Consultora Actúa Verde; Ricardo Martínez, experto en manejo de marcas con enfoque sostenible; y, Santiago Granda, director de la Escuela de Arte Culinario de Guayaquil, quienes dijeron que la normativa es buena y tiene un espíritu positivo. Pidieron considerar conceptos como el valor comercial, lo que es la donación y quienes son personas vulnerables; revisar aspectos logísticos como qué pasa con el proceso de donación, donde se genera la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, y establecer acciones puntuales para el aprovechamiento de los alimentos. Solidaridad y responsabilidad social “Combatir el hambre debe unirnos”, dijo la asambleísta Dallyana Passailaigue, proponente del proyecto, tras señalar que la ley popularmente conocida como “Pancita Llena” busca que la solidaridad y responsabilidad social de productores, procesadores, distribuidores, comercializadores e importadores de productos alimenticios sea una práctica permanente en Ecuador. “Es una ley que visibiliza la dinámica de la donación de alimentos y hoy en pospandemia se convierte en urgente, porque está dirigida aquellos que menos tienen”, puntualizó. De los 10 asambleístas que participaron en el debate, destacaron que se trata de una ley positiva que permite actuar para evitar el desperdicio de alimentos, que fue elaborada pensando en superar las brechas de desigualdad alimenticia; establece incentivos para donantes; convenios y prohibición de la venta de donaciones y promueve ferias alimentarias. La presidenta de la Asamblea Nacional, Guadalupe LLori en cumplimiento del artículo 61 de la Ley Orgánica de la Función Legislativa y acogiendo el pedido del legislador Marcos Molina, presidente de la Comisión de Salud, suspendió el tratamiento del tema, a fin de procesar y sistematizar las recomendaciones formuladas en el Pleno para la posterior aprobación del texto final. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hechosecuador/message

An Interview with Danny Mininni, Owner of Act II Entertainment Stages in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We Talk about His Lovely Theater and What It's Like to Run a Business in Puerto Vallarta. Semana Santa in Puerto Vallarta is in Full Swing and Learn how to Make Aguas Frescas Listen to The Podcast [caption id="attachment_2719" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Act II Entertainment Stages Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! This week I have a really great guest for you, Danny Mininni from Act II Entertainment Stages, but first, what’s happening this week in Puerto Vallarta the 28th of March, 2018. Semana Santa Semana Santa is in full swing in Puerto Vallarta as we head into Easter Sunday, comes Pascua, and another week of Spring Break for tourists and locals and the surrounding towns and cities in Nayarit and Jalisco. So, Occupancy rates are through the roof. The beaches are crowded and well, this time of year along with New Years and Christmas are the busiest times to be in Puerto Vallarta. Now with that being said, if you are going to be in town, make sure you stay safe, and follow all the safety procedures we’ve covered before. No fancy jewelry, don’t lay down your cell phone somewhere. Be aware of your surroundings, don’t get too drunk and stumble all over the place. [caption id="attachment_878" align="alignright" width="300"] Tell Us Your Taxi Story in Puerto Vallarta[/caption] Take cabs late at night. Oh, and by the way, next week I’ll talk about the Uber situation. I took Uber last time and it worked great. Took taxis too, don’t get me wrong, but Uber works in Vallarta. And also speaking about taxis, they will be looking to gouge you this time of year so don’t get mad, do the math in your head and decide if an extra buck is going to ruin your day okay? And another thing, Uber works on a scale according to availability so Uber is not always the cheapest way to go if it’s high volume time. But we’ll talk about that next week. Aguas Frescas In last week’s episode I was interviewing Mavi Graf from Arte Culinario, her cooking classes and catering services and so forth, and in listening back to the conversation, I noticed I passed up an opportunity to probe further when she asked me if I knew what Aqua Fresca was. And I answered, yes, but what I really should have said was yes, I love aguas Frescas, how do you make them? So, I went online and found out a bunch of stuff. Agua Fresca can be made with fruits, vegetables, even rice and other grains. And you have seen aguas frescas in Vallarta as this concoction in these huge glass jars, very colorful juices, and the venders dip a ladle into the jar, mix it up a little so you get some of the pulp from the fruit of whatever you have in the concoction, and pour it into a cup. All you are doing when you make this is taking let’s say watermelon, you cut up about 2 cups of watermelon and throw it into a blender and cover it with water. Maybe another 2 cups of water, then you just blend. Then add sugar to taste. You can use strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, cucumber, all kinds of stuff. And you can combine fruits with vegetables. Mix in mint, all sorts of stuff. It’s really easy to do at home and it’s a great way to use fruit that is on the edge. And it’s so natural and refreshing. You need to try it next time you are in town if you haven’t. Abuela's Kitchen While I was researching Aguas Frescas, I stumbled upon a youtube channel that I wanted to share with you called Abuela's Kitchen. It features Abuela's, which is grandmother in Spanish, and it’s filmed and produced by the granddaughter who has her 84 year old Abuela teach us how to cook Mexican Food. The cool thing about the show is that the grandmother speaks Spanish only, and there are English subtitles, and the granddaughter also explains things in English and Spanish. The Abuela is so cute, sometimes the granddaughter speaks to her in English, asking her a question, and the grandmother rolls her eyes and says, espanol, espanol. It’s so sweet. Anyway, not to take away from the local Vallarta cooking classes, but this is a good way to learn some Spanish, and how to cook at the same time. Follow Abuela's Blog Listener E-Mail I got this email from listener Skip. Skip if you remember was going to be spending a month in Vallarta and reached out to me for suggestions and sent me quite a few of his own. Anyway, Skip just got back from his stay in Nuevo Vallarta and he wants to share some of his experiences with us, so here goes….   Barry, I have been back a couple weeks now from our month-long Airbnb stay in the PV area. I want to share some of my experiences with you a little bit at a time. A lot of what I wish to share relates to the help your podcasts provided me in my adventures. I wish to extend a personal thank you to "Brett in Seattle" who told us listeners about the FMM on line web site. [caption id="attachment_2755" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] FMM Online[/caption] The forms do not look a lot like the official paper forms that the flight attendant hands out and that worried me. Still, I filled them out on line and printed them for myself and my wife and every visitor we had during that month. The web site only allows forms to be submitted within 30 days of the arrival date in Mexico. The official paper forms are divided horizontally and the online forms are divided vertically. I was also concerned that the back of the online form needed to be inverted so I printed them both ways. When I asked our flight attendant about these forms she said that the airlines get fewer forms to hand out to passengers as time progresses and that Mexican officials want travelers to use the online forms- neatly filled out and generally error free.  She said that very few people use them. The forms worked perfectly for me and all of our guests! The custom official looked at it twice- seemingly a bit surprised- and stamped both the left and right sides (entry and exit) and never even looked at the back of the form I had been concerned about. I had perforated a vertical line in the middle for easy separation and he smiled and nodded when I said "perforado". When we left the airport agent again looked trice at it before stapling it to our ticket. I had attempted to fill out a Customs Declaration online but could not find a current one. I did bring a current blank one home with me and will scan it for our next trip. You may wish to ask your listeners if anyone has done this. I will share more in the coming weeks.  FMM Online Get Your Tourist Visa Online Here! Okay Skip, Thanks for that report. And I’m looking forward to more in the coming weeks. And Thanks again to Brett-in Seattle, I also used the online form last time down and it really does work folks! Okay let’s get to the show.

This week, I have a couple of interviews, one with Christopher Mattocks at Lighthouse Specialty Foods on Lazaro Cardenas, on the South Side of Puerto Vallarta,  and my featured guest Mavi Graf of Arte Culinario and we will be talking about her and her cooking classes and all about herself, but first, what’s happening this week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico March 21st, 2018.   Listen to The Show   [caption id="attachment_2687" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Mavi Graf[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2689" align="alignleft" width="220"] Mave Arte Culinario[/caption] Semana Santa in Puerto Vallarta Semana Santa is coming early this year. Yes, Easter falls on April first and Semana Santa Starts Sunday the 25th of March, and ends on Saturday the 31st. Then Easter on Sunday…April Fools, and another week of Spring Break. Remember that Puerto Vallarta will be at full occupancy during this time. You have the locals on spring break from school, you have many families coming in from Guadalajara and the surrounding areas. So, if you are thinking about a nice quiet time, look out. The beaches are crowded, the hotels are full and college age visitors from all over, descend on Vallarta. I talked about Semana Santa in the episode with the owner of El Arrayan, Carmen Porras last year, but I suppose it doesn’t hurt to do a quick [caption id="attachment_2695" align="alignright" width="336"] El Arrayan[/caption] review of the holiday and how it’s celebrated here in Mexico. As you may have noticed, here in Mexico, they like to celebrate. They love holidays, and this is no exception. And they go big. We are coming up on a two-week holiday consisting of Semana Santa (The Holy Week, beginning on Palm Sunday and ending Easter Saturday) and Pascua (Starting with Easter Sunday and ending the following Saturday). Semana Santa is without a doubt, the most important holiday in Mexican culture. All over Mexico, Mexicans celebrate the last days of Christ during Holy Week with elaborate processions, ceremonies, and rituals. Most of the larger Semana Santa celebrations include a dramatic reenactment of the capture, the trial, and the crucifixion of Jesus. Mexicans have been known to practice acts of physical torture, public displays of political/social ridicule, and displays of resolutions and commitment. And as I mentioned last year, some of the more devout regions of Mexico like Taxco, the reenactments include penitents – men and women who show their penitence and prove their faith by inflicting physical pain. Many of us have seen these reenactments. But in Puerto Vallarta, they don’t go all out Taxco. They do have lots of parades and processions. It’s very cool. Just be ready for the crowds. Mexico Celebrates The Birthday of Benito Juarez Today is the birthday of Benito Juarez who was the 26th president of Mexico. Juarez was born March 21st 1806. And although they celebrated the holiday on Monday, due to Article 74 of the Mexican labor law (Ley Federal del Trabajo) which provides that the third Monday of March (regardless the date) will be an official holiday in Mexico. As with Constitution Day, the holiday was originally celebrated every year on the same date (March 21), but the federal labor law was modified in 2005 so the holiday is always celebrated on a Monday however, this is the day of Juarez’s birth. What a mouthful! A quick Wiki search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Ju%C3%A1rez#/media/File:Benito_Pablo_Ju%C3%A1rez_Garc%C3%ADa.png [caption id="attachment_2662" align="alignright" width="248"] Benito Juarez[/caption] He was of poor, rural, indigenous origins, but he became a well-educated, urban professional and politician, who married a socially prominent woman of Oaxaca City.[3] He identified primarily as a Liberal and he wrote only briefly about his indigenous heritage.[4] He was a key figure in the group of professional men in Mexico's indigenous south, and his rise to national power had its roots in that power base.[5] He was not an intellectual star of Mexican liberalism or a strict ideologue, but he was a brilliant, pragmatic, and ruthless politician. He held power during the tumultuous decade of the Liberal Reform and French invasion. In 1858 as head of the Supreme Court, he became president of Mexico by the succession mandated by the Constitution of 1857 when moderate liberal President Ignacio Comonfort was forced to resign by Mexican conservatives. Juárez remained in the presidential office until his death by natural causes in 1872. He weathered the War of the Reform (1858–60), a civil war between Liberals and Conservatives, and then the French invasion (1862–67), which was supported by Mexican Conservatives. Never relinquishing office although forced into exile in areas of Mexico not controlled by the French, Juárez tied Liberalism to Mexican nationalism and maintained that he was the legitimate head of the Mexican state, rather than Emperor Maximilian. When the French-backed Second Mexican Empire fell in 1867, the Mexican Republic with Juárez as president was restored to full power.[6][7][8] In his success in ousting the European incursion, Latin Americans considered his a "second struggle for independence, a second defeat for the European powers, and a second reversal of the Conquest."[9] He is now "a preeminent symbol of Mexican nationalism and resistance to foreign intervention."[10] Juárez was a practical and skilled politician, controversial in his lifetime and beyond. He had an understanding of the importance of a working relationship with the United States, and secured its recognition for his liberal government during the War of the Reform. Although many of his positions shifted during his political life, he held fast to particular principles including the supremacy of civil power over the Catholic Church and the military; respect for law; and the depersonalization of political life.[11] In his lifetime he sought to strengthen the national government and asserted the supremacy of central power over states, a position that both radical and provincial liberals opposed.[12] He was the subject of polemical attacks both in his lifetime and beyond. However, the place of Juárez in Mexican historical memory has enshrined him as a major Mexican hero, beginning in his own lifetime.[13] So Happy Birthday Benito Juarez Today you’d be 212 years old. Shucks, you don’t look a day over 66. Get it, he lived to be 66 years old. Okay, let’s get to the interviews shall we? Lighthouse Specialty Foods in Puerto Vallarta Sometimes, when you aren’t looking for it, you find it. I mean, an interview of course. I had just been stood up by an interviewee, I had made an appointment a week earlier for an interview, and I’m pretty sure my victim was too hungover to sit with me. I won’t tell you who he was, and I won’t tell you where it was, because I don’t want to embarrass him. Who knows, he might be sobered up in May or June when I come back to Vallarta, but, I was walking down Lazaro Cardenas across from the market when I came across a couple of guys, enjoying a cold cerveza, Oh [caption id="attachment_2664" align="alignright" width="300"] Christopher Mattocks[/caption]   Oh…Booze again, but they weren’t too far gone. In fact they were more than happy to talk with me. They asked if I wanted to sample some of what they were selling, and it was really good. So I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and ask Christopher Mattocks if he would talk with me about his place, a real hole in the wall, Lighthouse Specialty Foods. So let’s go right now to Puerto Vallarta Mexico, and have a conversation with Chris Mattocks, at Lighthouse Specialty Foods!   [caption id="attachment_2669" align="alignright" width="300"] Lighthouse Specialty Foods Puerto Vallarta[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2668" align="alignright" width="300"] Lighthouse Specialty Foods[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2667" align="alignright" width="300"] Smoker at Lighthouse Specialty Foods Puerto Vallarta[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2670" align="alignright" width="300"] Menu at Lighthouse Specialty Foods Puerto Vallarta[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2666" align="alignright" width="300"] Lighthouse Specialty Foods Puerto Vallarta[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2665" align="alignright" width="300"] Lighthouse Specialty Foods Puerto Vallarta[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2692" align="aligncenter" width="848"] JR's Map Lighthouse Specialty Foods[/caption] Listen to The Show Chris is a good guy and did a great job answering my questions right?

Planning a wedding or an anniversary dinner with friends? Maybe you want to learn to cook fantastic Mexican food. Well, my [caption id="attachment_2689" align="alignright" width="220"] Mave Arte Culinario[/caption] next guest, the featured guest for today is Mavi Graf. Mavi is a star in Puerto Vallarta. When Mavi caters the event, you know you are in for a wonderful culinary experience. She has a business called Arte Culinario, Culinary Art and her creations are truly works of art. And she’ll teach you too. So with Mavi, you get two for the price of one. A cooking class, and a caterer. Mavi holds her cooking classes in her home, a lovely condominium in Marina Vallarta. You have the sailboats and motor boats in their slips just below the balcony where the cooking class students, get to enjoy the delicious food that they have just created, with the help and guidance of Mavi Graf. So let’s let Mavi tell her story, and let’s go to the condo, overlooking the boats in their slips, in Marina Vallarta, and let’s chat with Mavi Graf, of Arte Culinario. [caption id="attachment_2681" align="alignright" width="300"] Arte Culinario[/caption] Listen to The Podcast [caption id="attachment_2682" align="alignleft" width="280"] Mavi Graf[/caption] Mavi was wonderful to come on the podcast. You remember when I told you about how, sometimes the real interview happens after I put away the microphones, well, Mavi was telling me that when she made a decision to have the classes in her home, her husband was against it. You know, the safety factor and all, but she said, at some point, you need to trust people. To invite them in to your home and let them see a little bit into your life. It’s how we build trust between cultures, between boundaries. And she said it was the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to them. The people they meet, the relationships they have built has been amazing and that has been the biggest surprise to them is just these friendships have grown into more than just a cooking class. That’s classy. I hope Mavi, it was okay for me to step in, and add that part of the interview that came, after the microphoned were put away, and thank you for inviting me into your home, and making me feel like a part of your family too. You are one of a kind Mavi.
