Spoiled yogurt sold to sick Cuban children
HAVANA, January 27 (www.cubanet.org) -
In several distribution centers in central
Havana spoiled yogurt has been sold for
children who cannot tolerate fresh milk,
causing them severe stomach distress.
The yogurt is only intended for children
under the age of 7 who present a doctor's
prescription requiring it.
The children's mothers complain that since
the yogurt is sold in the evening, at the
rate of two liters per child every two days,
they end up feeding their children sugar
water because they don't have the money
to buy dollars and acquire yogurt in the
dollar establishments.
Even then, they say, there is a shortage
of yogurt in the dollar stores themselves.
A liter of yogurt sells for 1.25 dollar,
or 31 pesos.
