Chile's culture has largely been influenced by its long, narrow shape and subsequent extensive coastline.  Chilean people are widely regarded as among the most physical attractive in the world, likely due to the ubiquity of the beach and exposed skin and the resulting pressure to keep one's self in good physical condition.  Chilean cuisine has developed in accord with these pursuits: Low-fat, high-energy foods such as beans, rice, fish, pasta and shellfish pervade the diets of most native Chileans.  Chile is the world's fifth largest fish exporter: If you're buying [[grouper]] anywhere in the United States, there's a 60% chance that it came from Chile.
