Costs
Rica:
Are
You
Buying
Meat
But
Paying
for
Water?
Meat
eaters
in
Costa
Rica
may
feel
a
decrease
in
the
weight
of
their
food
when
cooked
and
are
left
with
no
way
of
complaining,
as
vendors
inject
the
meat
with
water
and
other
additives
to
retain
moisture
and
make
it
look
bigger,
through
a
process
of
tenderization. |
