Jicama!

Making posters has been a hobby of mine since I can remember. At high school I tried to start a series of posters on moral values but only finished one on gayness and another on licentiousness. At college, I made one on Esperanto and several for the cinema club I ran with some friends.

This one, my latest, is about the Jicama fruit WP and it plays on a joke by Friends‘s Chandler: "Cheese. It’s milk that you chew." The funny thing is that for Jicamas it’s almost true, from the fruit’s pedia:

Jícama is high in carbohydrates in the form of dietary fiber. It is composed of 86-90% water; it contains only trace amounts of protein and lipids. Its sweet flavor comes from the oligofructose inulin (also called fructo-oligosaccharide), which the human body does not metabolize; this makes the root an ideal sweet snack for diabetics and dieters.

OK, OK. I hear you! “Chewable water” it is.
