Shhh: No One Tell Michelle About The Socialist Diet Plan – Power Line (blog)
Obesity is said to be the pre-eminent public health problem in America right now, which is probably one more reason liberals prefer socialism, and always want to enact legislation regulating our diets. (I predict the school version will be called the No Child Left With a Big Behind Act.)
To wit, this news:
Venezuela: 75% of population lost 19 pounds amid crisis
Venezuelas Living Conditions Survey found that nearly 75 percent of the population lost an average of at least 19 pounds in 2016 due to a lack of proper nutrition amid an economic crisis. . .
Venezuelans are not consuming the 2,000 recommended daily calories needed, the survey said. Venezuelas extreme poor said they have lost more than 20 pounds. . .
Venezuela is facing a political and economic crisis in which basic goods such as food and medicine are in short supply, unavailable or unaffordable. The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean predicts Venezuelas gross domestic product will decrease 4 percent in 2017, while the International Monetary Fund estimates inflation will increase 1,600 percent. . .
The food crisis has also created an education crisis, as more than 1 million children no longer attend school, mostly due to hunger and a lack of public services.
About 30 percent of students who now stay home do not attend school because of water problems at home or on campus, 22 percent do not attend due to school strikes, the survey found.
You can see the appeal for the left. The Spectator says Britains Labour Party is inclined to see Venezuela as a model:
Britain under Corbyn? Just look at Venezuela
By Jason Mitchell
Twenty years ago Venezuela was one of the richest countries in the world. Now it is one of the poorest. Venezualans are starving. The farms that President Hugo Chavez expropriated, boasting about the great increase in production that would follow, have failed. Inexperienced management and corruption under both Chavez and the current president, Nicolas Maduro, mean that there is less of each crop each year. Across the country, supermarkets are empty and most ordinary people queue for hours every day just for flour. Many of the animals in Caracas zoo have starved to death, but even those who survive arent safe Venezuelans have taken to raiding the cages to butcher and eat whatever they can find: horses, sheep, pigs. In the wild, they hunt flamingos and anteaters for their meat. Inflation is expected to surpass a mind-blowing 2,200 per cent this year. Yet this is the country that, not so long ago, Jeremy Corbyn held up as a model of social justice.
When Chavez died of cancer on 5 March 2013, Corbyn proposed an early day motion in the House of Commons in which he offered his condolences to Venezuela and acknowledged the huge contribution he made to conquering poverty in his country. and the way he spoke for the poorest and most marginalised people in Latin America.
The following day, Corbyn gave an interview to Al Jazeera in which he said: Chavez was a very important figure worldwide because he was prepared to use his position to argue for a different world order. Corbyn attended a vigil in London at which he gave a stirring speech about the great man: Chavez showed us that there is a different and a better way of doing things, he said. Its called socialism, its called social justice and its something that Venezuela has made a big step towards.
Theres much more in this piece, but this is enough to kill your appetite I imagine.
