An article i thought interresting i found in the SF Chronicle about the food source for very poor Hatians...Mud.
"The mud has long been prized by pregnant women and children here as an antacid and source of calcium. But in places like Cite Soleil, the oceanside slum where Charlene shares a two-room house with her baby, five siblings and two unemployed parents, cookies made of dirt, salt and vegetable shortening have become a regular meal." (Jonathan M. Katz)
*This is one of those instances i feel that the U.S. is obligated to intervene. ( It might even cut back on our obesity problem)
