Food and coffee in Brazil

As a vegetarian I found this is not a place with many options to choose from, or with healthy food on every corner. In hotels you have self serve and always salad, pasta with oil or some rice and beans. For dessert you can always find papaya, watermelon and there are cakes but with eggs.
Street food is mainly pastry based and lots of meat. Brazil is well known for their BBQ. You can see a lot of overweight people.
Coffee is great on some places and they serve some small portions which they charge like big ones you pay for in Australia. Stick with the cappuccino tradicional if you don't want to be dissatisfied.
At Abadiania coffee is not good in any of the shops. One lady told me they have policy to sell good coffee and to drink second best themselves.
In Rio I found the great coffee shop and even bought some coffee as a souvenir. I paid 25 Reals for 250gr, which is so much more then you pay in Melbourne for the same amount.
I found prices in Brazil even more or just dollar ir two less then in Australia. You can see that there is a lot of poverty around and I don't know how that people survive with that prices around.
Around the Casa in Abadiania, specially on session days you see few ladies trying to sell tea towels asking for some money for food.
