Let them eat Ketchup?????

Apparently, the Haitian president has suggested that the price of ketchup and meat be reduced.

The people of Haiti are more pragmatic: they would rather see initiatives to make staples such as rice, beans and oil more affordable.

Attention Mr Preval: the French aristocracy were famed for their lack of sensitivity toward starving peasants. They (the aristocrats, I mean) did not fare well!
