herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones (or genetic engineering). Afghans ate only the foods in season…fresh daily…from their own gardens and farms…leftover(s)..handed to the poor who come…in the late afternoon…(to) ask and receive in the name of God. Being a woman alone in Afghanistan, I was immediately taken into the bosom of the family and gained a unique perspective on the culture known only to a few foreignors…the wife would be at the head of a group of female (relatives)..silence would descend until she “looked into my soul” through my eyes for… 10 seconds and declared me her sister by throwing her scarf around my neck.
