In the 13 Latin American countries on which the FAO keeps figures, a minimum intake of 2,200 calories a day is met in only eight-Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay.

In neighboring Colombia, long troubled by a siege of backlands banditry, President Guillermo Leon Valencia's biggest headache is "Sure Shot" Pedro Antonio Marin, 35, who leads some 100 guerrillas and killed 17 people on one recent backlands raid. Another 150 guerrillas are operating in the Guatemala countryside, the most important group led by Marco Antonio Yon Sosa, 34, a onetime army lieutenant who graduated from the U.S. Army counterinsurgency school in Panama before deciding to go left.
