RE: The rice User Experience
yes, you are right. People eat meat too. Actually a lot. The quality is not good and the cooking method could be way improved. During my trip in Latino America I thought so many times about the tough life of vegetarians and vegans in this countries. Many people do not even know what being vegetarian is. I met people that think that it means 'without red meat', which makes chicken and fish eligible for the veg recipes.
Normal people eat meat because it is cheap (chicken is very affordable as every family have at least one). There are chickens everywhere. And when I say everywhere I really mean it. People also eat meat because of tradition, culture and lack of knowledge (this last point in the sense that they do not even consider different cuisines or different cooking methods).
Said that, the point is the UX learning behind all of this. Which are a lot and we can find even in this conversation. :)
