Apply your backcountry nutrition knowledge

Thanks for all the replies on this one. Regarding sending food packages I finally tracked down a freight-forwarding company in Miami that can forward parcels to regional Venezuela at per cubic foot cost (US$90 per 3 cubic feet), rather than $30 per kg as is the case from NZ by NZ Post. Linking that up with the ability to order limited grocery products shipped by USPS from Amazon makes a viable and affordable way of getting food parcel out there with some 'real' food products in them. Sadly that means anchor milk & all the other iconic kiwi brands will not be winging their way to Venezuela. Instead tax dodging multinationals like Amazon will be profiting instead - and US brands I've never heard of. But needs must. We have sent a parcel of clothes and a few kiwi treats - so some icons will make it there. Assuming that the freight company live up to their promises - the first food parcel has yet to arrive - the only catch is the Venezuelan customs limit on US$100 of value per parcel before the recipient has to pay import duties. For all those Venezuelans sending food parcels back to family - not an issue as they can lie on the declaration of value. But for me with Amazon shipping the docket attached to the parcel, I lose that ability to fiddle the figures. I'll be integrating your thoughts on nutrition into the parcels - but with the key difference that $cost rather than weight are now the limiting factors. Thanks again.
