This blog will make you grateful for the simplest food you have in your life.

Because you are about to see the most shocking foods, People are forced to eat.

In Haiti, the hungry children and adults make cookies out of mud and a mixture of dirt, butter and salt so they can fill up their empty stomachs. "Instead of stealing, we would rather make mud cookies to feed our kids" these are the word said by the people living there. And in case you are wondering how it tastes??? Mud cookies are very hard to swallow. They have no nutritional value and they are definitely not sweet….

Next on the list, Madagascar, The eight poorest country in the world. This is what the most desperate would call “dinner” And no, the food is not inside the clay vessel. The white clay used to make this vase and vessel is what people are forced to eat. They turn it into powder mix it with tamarind sauce, and eat this mixture as is and sadly, eating this everyday could lead to big health issues. “ If we had something to eat, if our saliva was enough, we would never eat this” these are the words said by them.

Now, for the poorest people in Venezuela, they buy meat. Except… they can only have rotten meat. Because of the incredibly bad recession food prices there have gone up…. Leaving the poorest people with no choice but to risk their health to survive… Eating smelly, rotting, almost poisonous meat.

 But in the Philippines, the opposite is true. The poorest people are forced to eat overcooked food. They search through piles of trash… To gather left-over fried meats thrown by houses and restaurants. Then they re-cook those leftovers… and call it a meat.

In South Sudan on the other hand, hungry people eat greens. Just not the regular kind that we know. Wild grass grows near houses and empty lands… So in the most desperate times, that solves their hunger. “ The situation is bad, It is a dire situation, We have talked to mothers, a lot of them are skipping meals”.

And in India, some people are forced to chase and eat rats in order to survive. “People are starving, so we kill rats and use them”. Imagine that you are forced to chase and kill a rat for eating. Honestly it is tough to make because the more of this is shocking.

No one should ever be in the position of eating things like mud, dirt, clay, rats, and rotten meats just to survive. And I also hope that nobody is ever wasting their food hereafter. I hope you made you realize that times can be tough we all still have a lot of reasons to stay grateful especially our luxurious food.
