What does a typical Colombian kid eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?:

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are very different from the meals we have in the U.S. For breakfast, Colombian children have access to lots of different kinds of fruits that don't necessarily make it to the U.S. In Bogotá, kids can munch on fresh plantain, pineapple, guava and more. In contrast, kids from the Amazons have access to fruits that are specific to that area. For example, Acai berry is a very expensive berry found in smoothies in the United States.
