Struggling Haitians Mix Salt, Oil & Dirt 2 Make ‘mud Cookies’ 2 Avoid Starvation by KealDrogo: 8:07am On Jun 25, 2017
In an era where corruption and authoritarianism is rampant, it is often the ordinary people who suffer the most. Millions of people in Haiti are malnourished and cannot afford nutritious food, so many have had to resort to eating cookies made out of dirt in order to fill their stomachs.
As an impoverished country without a stable government, Haiti is a country where nearly 3 million people don’t have enough to eat. Hunger is becoming a serious issue. While the wealthiest 10% of Haitians earn 70% of the nation’s total income, most Haitians live on only 1 or 2 dollars or less per day. Many adults and even more children suffer from malnutrition.
Nutritious foods such as fruit and other staples are often considered luxury items among many in Haiti. In order to survive difficult times, some Haitians have resorted to a generation-old recipe of mixing salt, vegetable oil and dirt to make what locals call “bon bon terres”—or mud cookies.
