Talk:Haiti

one billion dollars per year are paid to grocery services that take money from Haitian emigrants in cities like Montreal, Canada and deliver a load of groceries anywhere in Haiti - typically at well marked up prices.

I don't understand what this means. Care to explain in more detail and with clearer language?

"Cookies" made of margarine and clay can be purchased in the markets.

Clay as in solid mud? Doesn't sound very appetizing and bad for teeth also? I find this a little hard to believe. Have you seen this for yourself or is this one of those "can you imagine..."-scary-weird-gross-out-can't-believe-that-you-believe-stories?
