Sadly, that is still probably quite a bit healthier than a typical american diet. Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of the Cesta Básica.

It may be beneficial to include some recipes (whether brazilian or not probably doesn't matter) or some links to websites that have recipes. Naturally, my personal favorite is black beans which I prepare with garlic, kosher salt (much more flavoful), some kind of sausage, and other spices depending on what I'm in the mood for. Cook the beans until soft in salt and garlic water (makes a great base for the beans); then, add some kind of meat to the beans and soup and serve over rice. A good vinagrette (tomatoes, onions, and green pepper mix in vinager and water) is good with it as well. I could live off it every day and be content.
