Food Channel and Travel Channel gleefully produce tourism commercial for grateful Stalinist regime that starves its subjects and outlaws travel

In 1958, by the way, Cubans enjoyed the 4th highest protein consumption in the Western hemisphere. Nowadays food is rationed at slave rates and the island is ravaged by nutritional diseases.

Think I exaggerate? Here's the nourishment a slave on the Castro family plantation gets daily, as decreed by Castro family: 2 ounces of meat, 3 ounces of rice, and 6.5 ounces of starch and 1 ounce of beans.

Now here's what the Spanish King had royally decreed as the daily rations for slaves in their Crown Jewel colony of Cuba in 1842:   8 ounces of meat, 4 ounces of rice, and 16 ounces of starch and 4 ounces of beans for all slaves in the Spanish colony of Cuba.

This means, that Cuba's literal slaves of almost two centuries ago ate better than the slaves on the Cuban plantation the Food Network rewarded with a rollicking tourism commercial.

Fortunately Cuba's black market, and rampant dumpster-diving by Castro's slaves takes up the considerable slack. Much of the dumpster diving takes place around the plantation's tourist sites which were recently glorified by the Food Network.

Cubans who starved to death in Cuban mental hospital (not far from where Guy Fieri gorged on lobster with his communist apparatchik hosts, while producing a free tourism commercial for them.) Desperate Cubans dumpster-diving for food around restaurants owned by communist apparatchiks and promoted in tourism commercials by the Food Network.  ("Food is a weapon." Stalin"s minister Maxim Litvinov) Comments
