From your third link:

(24) The situation is really chaotic and food supplies are nonexistent.

Look, even when they are too poor to have toilet paper, they won't eat junk food! A lesson for us in America?

For this lurker/reader on this thread, that looks like a sad, lonely, forlorn loaf of bread on the shelf on the right side of the aisle in your picture there, (sort of like "the bread that the looters rejected").

To take a brief musical side step for just a quick minute or two here, (and switching gears to a completely different kind of scenario), that lonesome bread brings to mind an old bluegrass song...

       "One Loaf Of Bread" - Dave Evans

The bluegrass article found here says this about that song:

"Dave’s songwriting is some of the most overlooked in bluegrass. Without a doubt, one of the saddest songs in all of bluegrass is Dave’s One Loaf of Bread. Filled with themes of poverty, drunkenness, and injustice, One Loaf of Bread is a wonderfully crafted song. It tells the story of an impoverished child whose alcoholic parents leave their children at home while they squander their money on booze. The lad breaks a store window in order to steal a loaf of bread for he and his siblings to eat, and is put to death. No one ever said Dave Evans was for the faint of heart! 'You’re going to cry if you sit and listen to Dave very long,' says James King about One Loaf of Bread. Be near the Kleenex when you get to this one. You’ll need ’em."
The approximate lyrics can be read here, (although they are partially clobbered there too).

Now, back to the real Q thread!        :-)
