After meeting with Préval, the commission will speak with Haitian business leaders to convince them that the chickens and eggs aren’t affected by the bird flu virus.
The pale brown biscuits, known by locals simply as "terre", have traditionally been eaten by pregnant Haitians and children as an antacid and source of calcium.

I dont know if you where joking or not lol.. but in most cultures it is considered highly taboo to eat another human.. many would die before they did it.
For example, according to anthropologist Beth Conklin in article by Ellie Shick mortuary cannibalism amongst the Wari tribe of the Amazon rainforest had a "socially integrative dimension." Upon consumption of the deceased group member, the spirit of the dead was believed to be absorbed by the entire tribe and was considered by them to be one of "the most respectful ways to treat a human body."

And what are we doing about that? Nothing except watching our tax dollars being thrown down the drain for a needless war.
That's the problem. People don't give a damn about others. They only care about themselves. So as long as they can eat their fat dinner tonight, everything is good in the world.
People care more about saying "we're the greatest country in the world" than they do about actually proving it.
