On a lighter note, This could be a business opportunity to market dieting tourism. Dropping 24 pounds would a healthy start for America’s ever-expanding obese population.

And it’s a diet plan that could be legally marketed with “proven & guaranteed results” slogans that back up the weight loss success stories.

Sounds like a great opportunity for cruise lines. They can offer a “Weight Loss” cruise to Venezuela. Should be a low cost trip, as well. The actual food costs would be quite manageable - near zero. There could even be a lower travel cost alternative on the horizon, too, as governor “Moonbeam” Brown implements similar policies in California.

Venezuela is more like a concentration camp than a country, sad to say.

Socialism - it may crush personal freedom and create untold human misery, but at least the ladies will be able to fit into their little black dresses.

Oh, No. This is great!

As a result of the success of socialism the Venezuelans are consuming less and reducing their carbon foot print.

If you were thinking of opening a Weight Watchers franchise in Venezuela, forget about it.

Considering the real exchange rate is 230 thousand to 1 dollar it is pretty easy to see how they do it. They do not produce any thing but oil and their output has been in a decline

They think it works in Western Europe. And it kinda-sorta-but-not-really does while the United States is footing the bill for continental defense.
