If it didn't work, it's fake socialism
Venezuela's 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.
The survey, called ENCOVI, is a joint effort conducted by the Central University of Venezuela, the Andrés Bello Catholic University and the Simón Bolívar University, along with the Fundación Bengoa food and nutrition group and other non-governmental organizations.
Venezuelans are not consuming the 2,000 recommended daily calories needed, the survey said. Venezuela's extreme poor said they have lost more than 20 pounds.
In the survey, researchers found that most Venezuelans subs uted red and white meats with vegetables and tubers -- such as potatoes. According to the survey, 82.8 percent of Venezuelans are considered poor due to their income.
The survey also found that 93 percent of Venezuelans do not have enough money to cover their food expenses. In the Venezuelan daily diet, healthy fats and snacks have nearly disappeared. Only 78 percent of people said they eat breakfast and 32 percent of people said they only eat twice a day, the survey found.

venezuela is a flawless country except for socialism tbh
I don't think I could lose 19 lbs and still be alive. Nothing wrong with eating twice a day - I do. As an aside, my father who lived through WWII in China now refuses to eat sweet potatoes - ate too many during the war. He said they only got meat on special occasions like Chinese New Year.
As if 75% of Americans don't need to lose 19 ponds
Not socialism's fault. It was corruption and mismanagement by Chavez's gang.
Social democracies in Europe are working better than uncontrolled capitalism in USA.
Repugs will make US capitalism work much worse for the 99% ASAP.
You cannot average weight loss. It's pointless.
God knows you've been trying for years.![]()
heres a fun game
name one american politician who is more like hugo chavez than donald trump
san antonio could use this leadership.
we need socialism in the USA ASAP
These fat s cant even fit in a portable potty anymore
I was just driving through middle america and got damn most ppl I saw were 300 pound balls of lard
murikans
Ronald Reagan. Both ty leaders and now rotting corpses
I'm sad to say this is becoming truer every day.
Even in a beautiful city like New York. One of the least fattest cities in the US.
I'm seeing more and more of them every day. Although most of them are fat mexicans though.![]()
Tourists and not mexicans but Puerto Ricans. ers love them BBQ pork and their womens asses inflate like Macys parade ballons for some reason
totalitarian despotic socialism only works with a competent leader. When Hugo was around he was able to manage the culture of graft that is rife in latin america and more equitably distribute wealth. With his death, his replacement has not been able to manage near so much. They have their Trump now and much like the rise and fall of monarchies tehy are stuck with him.
democratic socialism like Sanders advocates and the rest of the West uses from one extent to another is not the same. For one it is not totalitarian. I know GOP types like their politics dumbed down to braindead levels but it is not representative of reality.
Why don't you tell us about the economy of China before diversification of Russia in the time leading up to Perestroika and pretend that is the same thing too. Get really ing ignorant.
Anyone want to make a thread about capitalism in action in Somalia while we're at it?
Somalia is a failed state, no economic system worth the name
Unironically defending a dictator
Hugo Chavez took over the richest economy in Latin America and completely trashed it. He was no better than Maduro.

chavez was also a fake-populist narcissist who lied compulsively, hated the free press and was good friends with vlad putin
but yeah its the socialism
