Venezuela’s former Vice President turned Minister of Education Elías Jaua claimed in remarks this weekend that the country’s depleted supermarkets would be full of food if people did not eat so much. In a televised speech, Jaua said that, although Venezuela’s malnutrition crisis was a “timely issue,” it had “not at all affected people’s fundamental right to access food.”

“A growing demand and possibilities to acquire food by the Venezuelan people are what has presented a great challenge for our country to produce more and more food every day,” he said. “If the Venezuelan people did not eat, surely the shelves would be full.”

This is what I say to my family every time I come back from the store. The fridge would always be full if you guys would just stop eating all this food I get.

I will argue that no one in the U.S. should be allowed to vote until they have spent at least six months in Asia or the Middle East. I am always surprised at the stock of goods you see in almost any U.S. grocery store.

During my first tour to Korea, in 1980, it was still forbidden to take dollars off-base; you had to use script if you wanted to buy something downrange. It was my first experience with military justice as well: I purchased four ounces too much mayonnaise in the PX and almost got non-judicial punishment for it. It was only because I could produce the two jars that I convinced my company commander that I wasn't in the business of "dealing mayonnaise" downrange on the black market ...

Did the minister intend this as an April Fool’s joke?

Like Elom Musk joking about bankruptcy?

When grandmas and babies starve to death and this fool makes statements like this it’s not going to be long before someone fetches the rope.

I looked for a satire tag.

Collectivism is fertile black soil for this kind of thinking.

Wasn’t there a story a little while ago that the national average weight is dropping like a rock? The Venezuelan diet works wonders in the realm of slimming.

LOL! Unbelievable! I’ll bet Kim Jong-Un is sorry he didn’t think of that line first.
