Venezuela's most recent stroke of genius to feed its starving population? Rabbits! Everybody can grow rabbits in cages and then have them FOR dinner. I predict shortages for rabbit chow and am waiting, with bated breath, for PETA's response.

Urban Agriculture Minister Freddy Bernal reminds the serfs; "A rabbit is not a pet; it’s two and a half kilos (5.5 pounds) of meat that is high in protein, with no cholesterol." The critics wonder where the cages, food and breeding stock are coming from. The government has yet to respond but with the average Venezuelan losing 19 pounds in the last year alone, desperate measures are on the rise!

While the 'leadership' parties hearty behind walled enclaves guarded by the military, the International Monetary Fund (The IMF) forecasts that prices will rise (inflation) 720% in Venezuela this year. Can any statement more clearly illustrate the 'pie in the sky' vision of socialism than this statement from their non-elected President, Nicholas Maduro; "We're looking for creative solutions in the socialist vision,"?

That is true, rabbits are not pets and there is nothing wrong with eating them.

Rabbit meat is low in protein and has virtually no fat.

Not sustainable, unless you want to continue to lose weight.

“Teach a man to fish...” and he stands a better chance of survival in Venezuela.
