If I was a Haitian.....

Well in case you dont know Haiti is in really poor shape....as in the number of the food prices are going up and so is the number of people who are starving!! The demonstraters outside the presidential palace said the rising cost of living in Haiti meant that they were struggling to feed themselves. One Haitian said ''We are HUNGRY'', and another used the expression ''grangou klowox'' or in english, ''eating bleach'' as a way to express their hunger pains they feel daily, because of being unable to pay for food due to expensive food prices...Anyways putting myself in the shoes of a Haitian and not being able to afford food...i dont know what i would do there has been times where I was hungry and didnt have enough money and I just sat there hungry...but unlike the Haitians I, at least got to eat when i got home. There has'nt been more than 3 days where I didnt get to eat so if I was in the same place as the Haitians personally I think I probably would have died already...??
