With no solution to the food crisis in Venezuela, some people have begun looking for new strategies to make life easier on those that have to eat trash to sustain.
Controversial Priest and opponent to President Nicolás Maduro’s administration Father Jose Palmar posted on social media this week about labeling discarded waste so those looking through it for food can do so more easily and “with dignity.”
Palmar called on Venezuelans to celebrate Lent by identifying bags where food has been discarded for those with no where else to turn. That way, they don’t have to dig through non-edible items to find it.
“Try to preserve food waste so that people who eat out of garbage cans can praise the Lord,” Palmar wrote.
The priest also recommended that people not mix leftovers with other garbage. Instead, deposit the waste in one bag, tie it and write “food” on the outside.
Since last year, several independent research organizations have said the number of people turning to garbage as a source of food has and continues to increase.
In September, social media in Venezuela was blew up after a video revealed the stark reality the country faces with food: desperate children, young people and adults rummaging in the garbage to eat.
The political crisis in Venezuela, food shortages and the decrease of Venezuelan’s purchasing power has reportedly caused more than 70 percent of its population to suffer weight loss, pushing many to eat out from the garbage left on the streets.
According to the National Survey of Living Conditions (Encovi), 3.9 percent of the population has been affected by malnutrition, while 9.6 million Venezuelans can only eat twice a day.
Remember the communist mantra!
“From each according to what he has, to me according to what I want.”
How on earth can you possibly go dumpster diving for food “with dignity”? It is an absolute disgrace that this country, rich with natural resources, has its people starving. THIS is what should be taught in U.S. classrooms as a lesson in how successful communism is, instead of the outright idiotic “BLM”, “BDS”, and other total library garbage that is.
No, no, no. It’s democratic socialism. So all is good. Stop the fake news. I mean it.
Ping.
Very Good. I'm stealing that!
Air drop food(cup o’ noodles) from stealth B-1 bombers. Put American flag stickers on them.Do it in the middle of the night. Wait and see what happens.
Looks like they are running out of other peoples money.
Socialism has a way of doing that.
Ain’t Communism grand!
This was rumored to have been done by the US in Russia in the 50s.
Read any discussion site apart from FR and you’ll have collectivists protesting all day long that what you see in VZ is not socialism and is not communism.
They’ll call it an oligarchy or a dictatorship, and refuse to admit that’s their people.
This is what happens when you let women, the poor, and the retarded vote.
It’s called DEMOCRACY , and UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
We have that here in the USA now too.
Not to worry, I’m sure Sean Penn will be arriving to provide moral support any second now.
Venezuela is an example of r/K selection theory in real life.
They have socialism there because THEY LIKE SOCIALISM.
Socialism is only part of Venezuela's problems. There are plenty of Socialist countries in the world (Sweden, Denmark) that are doing just fine. (Until Muslim immigration of course).
r-Selected people are programmed to acquire as many resources as possible with as little effort as possible and breed as fast as possible; until they hit carrying capacity.
They don't focus on literature, science, medicine, invention, and the other technological advancements that primarily came from the Western world. They eat and breed.
When they hit carrying capacity, then it's 1984 Ethiopia all over again.
Expect many more Venezuelas and Ethiopias in the coming decades. Africa's population is expected to double, then it's look out below!
Just like in the 80s, I'm expecting commercials all day on TV featuring African toddlers with distended bellies and covered with flies. With their illiterate 70 IQ mother standing nearby wondering why she can't feed her 18 babies anymore.
Socialism isn't the only culprit, or even the main one. It's genetic.
r/K Selection Theory. Look it up.
Eat the Communists who started this catastrophe!
/src on/Another wonderful development. We all know most people are not responsible and need nugging from the gov’t to do the right thing for society. First, the gov’t has eliminated the obesity crisis by the strict and equitable distribution of food. Now people have been pushed to sustainable waste disposal. They are separating food items that are perfect for composting. Also we all know people throw away too much useable food while others are going hungry. The separation of food waste is enabling those who have fallen through the cracks to receive good nutritious food./src off/
I saw what you did there..
The "truth" of Socialism hurts only the vulnerable opposition,
and culls the opposition in a pogram.
The title says it all !
Let this be a lesson in waiting for government help
Hat tip to TADSLOS
Socialism is achieved.
