No way. It's ethanol. Or global warming. Or the Jewish lobby. Or something. Anything but the people who happen to be in complete control of the country and what goes on in it. Any other interpretation is simply American imperialist propaganda. Oh, No, Chavez is not responsible for this. No way. It's ethanol. Or global warming. Or the Jewish lobby. Or something.

First was the sugar and when we started to get used to the brown sugar when we could find it, was the meat so we spend almost a month eating only chicken since the fish its too expensive; then the eggs and the milk and the black beans and I lost count... The tax sales percentage decreased by government decree but I dont feel that the products are less expensive now, when I can find them of course. Theres not only troubles with food shortage but also with medicine and cosmetics, its hard to find sometimes certain labels for example do you have to buy things of less quality labels. Sometimes you find some areas of the supermarket completly empty, and you wonder if you are living in a war zone and you are the only one who hasn't realize of that yet. PS: I ask excuses about the grammar and spelling mistakes you might find on the lines above, like Celia Cruz used to say "my english is not very good looking" I live in Caracas and I can tell theres been food shortage for several months.
