Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Instead of improving agriculture methods and distribution systems officials have come up with crazy idea: TOI reports: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Rat_snacks_can_solve_world_food_price_crisis_Official/rssarticleshow/3362835.cms Rat snacks can solve world food price crisis: Official PATNA: Eating rats is the best way for rich and poor people to solve the global crisis of rising food prices, an official said on Wednesday as he unveiled his plan to put rodents on menus. Regular rat snacks would translate into fewer rodents eating precious grain stocks - 50 percent of which are lost in the northeastern state of Bihar every year to the animals, said Vijay Prakash, secretary of the state's welfare department. " This will help in mitigating the global food crisis. We are sure that it will work wonders, " Prakash said. " It will save half our grain, and will also reduce villagers' dependence on food stock. " Prakash's plan promotes consumption of rat meat in homes, street stalls, restaurants and even international five-star hotels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
