Venezuelan families consume skins (hides) of meat and chicken due to high cost of the product

The kilo of meat is close to 4 million bolivars (Two Venezuelan minimum wages)

Pescuezos, hides and skins of meat and chicken, which are normally thrown away or used as dog food, is the protein that many Venezuelan families are consuming due to the high prices.

The skins of chicken and meat is what sells the most and they have the kilo to Bs. 500,000 thousand, They affirm The sellers that what they take from the chicken and the meat when they clean it is what they take the most because a kilo of meat is close to 4,000,000 million. Housewives who can buy a good salty for their family are privileged.

Every day 10 or more children and adults approach from early in the morning to ask for the waste. Some offer to sweep the entrance of the establishment.

Recalling information we managed to talk to a man about a sale of chicken and meat and he told us that he was not sold but was given away because many people come to ask for it. We have the case of a young woman with a 4 month old baby who comes every day to give her the skins. It gives pain because the malnourished baby that is can not even cry. Here we always try to help her with something to eat. Story

We regret that what was previously waste or food for animals is now the food of many Venezuelans. Since inflation is out of control and salaries are not enough, people can not find what to eat.

In the distributors the neck (neck of chicken) in Bs. 350 thousand and likewise the skins or leathers, because the majority of the buyers when they ask that they clean the chicken take the waste. They say something is done with that.
