     Aksayado kami sa States. Hindi kami marunong kumain ng talbos at bulaklak ng gulay. Marami kasi kayong pagkain at hindi kayo marunong magutom. Dito walang itinatapon. Ang sabi nga, kahit kapiraso, laman-tiyan din 'yon.

     We live lavishly in the States. We don't know how to eat the tops or flowers of vegetables. You have too much food and you don't know how to be hungry. Here, we don't just throw away anything. They say, even the smallest bit of anything can be eaten.
