MiƩrcoles, 30/03/2011 then go to the supermarket has become a passage to disconnected realities. The latest estimate of the state agency indicated that a family of 4 (composed of father, mother and two children, 5 and 8 years) can take their meals with $ 580 monthly. Stripped of methodological rigor, going to the supermarket where they usually do our shopping in the cities of Salta and Santa Fe to make a "little monkey" with the same official food basket and surprise! doubled the value published by the INDEC. In these family supermarkets disbursed $ 1,126 each month in Salta, and Santa Fe $ 1,141 to secure their basic food needs. Moreover, far are these foods form a healthy diet that will guarantee basic welfare and health coverage while respecting the dignity and social and cultural needs of large and small. In short, a basket that guarantees the right to food is realized when "every man, woman and child, alone or jointly with others, has physical and economic access at all times to adequate food and culturally acceptable or means to get "right that our country has taken since 1968 and ratified in 1986 by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (UN), the obligations to respect, protect, facilitate this and make it effective. The omission of this responsibility makes us the scapegoat for a corrupt system of private and corporate interests to the extent that the price of food triples the political apparatus that promotes the shift.
Meanwhile, in less than 3 months, 14 children from villages originating died malnourished in the province of Salta. Have they been poor or have lived in the wonderland that estimates the INDEC?. Reduce hunger, poverty and inequality are not merely technical and financial problems, but political issues. And as suggested by Joan Benach, diagnose reality and not acting is not ethically or politically acceptable. Ana
