In the last three months I have persisted for about 40 pounds, not because I could be sick but because it is now four months that we do not have access to animal protein because of the high cost and the impossibility of acquiring it (no meat, no chicken, no fish). We have opted for vegetables and grains; nor have we chosen sugar because it does not exist on the market. Thank God, we're healthy, but exhaustion comes quickly.
I am sorry @amigoponc, I hope your government gets your state banks under control. You don't have access to gardening and backyard chickens? Here were I live we have gardens and livestock between our family acreage. Many of us have chickens here in urban Tulsa
Hello my dear brother from Tulsa, @reddust, I don't like to talk too much about the situation we are going through in Venezuela, because I don't want people to think that we are begging, because there are a lot of users from my country who do that on this platform. But, the reality is raw; so much so that keeping an animal to eat it is unsustainable. A year ago we had a few chickens, but the need forces, that's why we came to steemit, which has been a real blessing for many here. I give you a piece of information for you to estimate: the basic salary of any Venezuelan is 3,000,000.00 Bs.F., which is equivalent to $2, a kilo of chicken costs 1,300,000.00 Bs.F., which represents $1; that is, half the basic salary. How about @reddust friend, another example, a kilo of meat costs today, 4,500,000.00 Bs.F.that is, approximately $3, who buys that....
