Poverty wil do that. At least that'll bring down their type II diabetes rates...they have no meds for that anyway.

Fake News. Venezuela uses metric weights.
What? No McDonalds or Walmart?
Don't worry. By the time Putin has finished with you Americans will all be nice and thin as well. Living on potatoes and vodka kind of does that.
Enjoy the end of your empire American fatties!
I lived and worked in Venezuela while Chávez FrÃas was President. Many of the stories written about Venezuela were outright false or very distorted during that time and after I returned to the U. S. A. There was a lot of overweight in the country several years ago--plenty of food and junk food. I have been out of touch with my friends and co-workers for at least a year, possibly two, so have not checked in with accounts of daily life there recently.
A lot of people do not understand or choose to ignore that capitalism has been operating in Venezuela for a very long time and that many of the shortages were created by private corporations withholding goods to create chaos. There would be photos of empty shelves on stores in the middle class and upper middle class areas of cities while the goods were available in the mercados. However, inflation was real, with a slow rise at first, then a steep increase with serial devaluations of the bolÃvar. People who were living a comfortable middle-class lifestyle, achieved under Chávez FrÃas, were beginning to live from one paycheck to the next, also under Chávez FrÃas. A huge part was the global economic crisis, part was organized efforts from within and without to create instability, and part probably was short-term policy changes that did not help long-term.
