I was reading recently that the ancient Mayans fed their dogs fruits and vegetables then ate the dogs.

They should have taken the dog food to use it as bait to catch yummy dogs.

Have Kenyans shown a distaste for mailmen and an improved ability to catch Frisbees?

I find this whole story a little hard to swallow. Uh let me rephrase that, something something just doesn't smell right. Somethings fishy? I have a kibbel uh quible about the veracity of this story.

I guess it sounds pretty bad. But if these people are truly starving and knowing their government I don't doubt it, it's a sure bet that those people are eating things a lot worse than what is in that dog food like grass and very kind of vermin they can catch or kill including rats.

The reason the government is upset is they want other countries to send money they can steal or some kind of food they can turn around and sell on the black market for money.

It's kind of hard to sell dog food to people and make a good profit.

When you think about it it is the one food item that might actually make it to the people who are dieing.

Famines in this day and age is mostly caused by the government of the people who are starving because they steal everything meant for them and also they use it as a method of control.

Starvation is also an option.

she is free to offer what she wants but.....

1) it is a given that the 'aid to africa' game is breathtakingly corrupt, and the food presumably will be in part or whole diverted to preferred entities (the army, etc)
2) as such dogfood probably has limited black market value or political patronage value and would not help the graft and kleptocracy machine. The army may respond poorly to yappy's dog biscuits, etc. (sarcasm)
