Mudcakes in Haiti....

It was difficult to find a more recent video than the one shown above because there isn't as much importance placed on Haiti now as there was when the earthquake first hit. But, I believe this video gives a good glimpse of what the Haitians must go through day in and day out, simply because they are not receiving as much aid as they need. I don't know if I could allow myself to eat mud.
In the beginning of the video, there is a recipe given for this "food" that the Haitians eat in order to stay alive which includes mud, water, lemon butter, and salt. This is all these people have, and therefore they make the best of it.

Lifestyle Changes - Moving to the US

Because of the disastrous effects the earthquake had on Haiti in January, there have been several instances where Haitians have attempted to cross into the United States. The Haitians are crossing in from Canada, and from there are coming down to the US, unless of course they get caught. The most obvious reason for these individuals to illegally cross into the United States is to escape the horrendous accommodations right now. The Haitians have been starving and many no longer have homes to live in, so they can't be blamed for attempting to find a better life elsewhere.

The audio clip is an interview with an attorney, David Watts, who is currently representing three Haitians who have lived in the United States previously, and have now tried to enter through Canada. These individuals according to the lawyer, had been ordered to leave the US but they refused to leave. The immigration laws have temporarily changed for the people who have come in from Haiti because there is nothing to send them back to. This is what has made so many Haitians attempt to enter the US, because word has gone around that they will not be returned at this time, and temporarily will be allowed to live in the US.

Introduction: The old idea of starvation revisited

I would like to take a different stance on food - one that goes away from the good and bad recipes, fantastic or disgusting restaurants, or any other aspect of eating and good food. My focus will be on the idea of starvation – how much food it would take to feed one person who is facing serious famine. Especially with the tragedy that recently occurred in Haiti. The reason I want to focus on starvation rather than the food they have provided to them is because there is a bigger issue that many people need to know about. What is this issue? I am not sure yet, which is why I would like to devote some of my time to figuring out what the answer is to that question.
