We compared seasonal changes in food availability between Maya subsistence farmers and modern householders who pursue cash earnings in rural Yucatan. Modern households encourage the substitution of vegetable for animal protein that severely affects them during scarcity season, particularly in small towns. Subsistence households have increased their legume intake when food was scarce. Seasonality had the largest effect on fruit availability. Unable to obtain enough protein and micronutrient rich foods when meats, fruits and vegetables become scarce, modern households make up for it by purchasing more fats and sugars, particularly in large towns with many grocery stores. eng
