Mariela Castro's visit reminds us that Cuban mothers have been feeding their families under the so called "ration card".
This is from Humberto Fontova:
"To wit, in 1962 the Soviet satrapy overlorded by Mariela’s family
started rationing food to its subjects (in 1958, by the way, Cubans
enjoyed the 5rd highest protein consumption in the Western hemisphere.)
Under Soviet tutelage Mariela’s uncle Fidel and his toadies decreed that
their subjects’ daily food intake would henceforth total: 2 ounces of
meat, 3 ounces of rice, and 6.5 ounces of starch and 1 ounce of beans.
Interestingly, back in 1842 the Spanish King had royally decreed
daily rations of 8 ounces of meat, 4 ounces of rice, and 16 ounces of
starch and 4 ounces of beans for all slaves in the Spanish colony of
Cuba.
This means, that Cuba’s literal slaves ate better than Queen
Mariela’s “emancipated” subjects—if it were left up to her family’s
regime, that is. Fortunately Cuba’s Black Market takes up the
considerable slack."
We know that Mariela did not grow up with "the ration card". We also know that the "card" did not apply to Mariela, her Italian husband or their 3 children.
Nobody asked Mariela about "food ration" cards or free elections in Cuba. It speaks volumes about the audience and the travesty of her visit.
