Hungry Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt
Hungry Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt
With food prices rising, Haiti’s poorest can’t afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies.
Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country’s central plateau.
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.

Forget filling the coal shed: big cost of keeping warm is now a flight to the sun
If the key to a nation’s priorities lies in its shopping lists, then Britain has been transformed in 50 years from a society spending mainly on basic food and warmth to one transfixed by the delights of leisure and travel, new figures show.
The usually stern face of official government statistics softened yesterday to offer an anniversary glimpse of family spending habits in 1957 – the year an annual household expenditure survey was first launched in a post-ration book Britain.
The contrasts are telling. Five decades ago families were shelling out a third of their weekly spending on food and non-alcoholic drink, with fresh milk and “undefined meat”, including rabbit and tongue, joining cigarettes and bus fares in the top 10 most bought items. That proportion has dropped to just 15% in today’s era of cheap food.
