Shopping with a dollar in Guatemala

Francisco Fion says half of the population in his country, Guatemala, live on less than two dollars a day, or seven quezales. He goes to see what he can buy for this in the central market of San Agustin.

Guatemla es una fabricas de bebes. No es solo question de educar a los pobres. La educacion y concientizacion tienen que empezar desde arriba. Los chapines tienen que admitir que la alta taza de natalidad resulta en un excedente de mano de obra lo cual tambien resulta en desempleo y bajos salarios. Todo esto causa malnutricion especialmente en los primeros años lo cual causa un bajo IQ en los indigenas. Yo culpo de esto a los curas mañosos y a España la unica fabrica de curas en el mundo.

Gutgemala is one of the few baby factories in the world. And is not just a matter of educating the poor. The education has to start at the top. Guatemalans have to admit that their high birth rate, one of the highest in the americas results in a labor surplus which causes high unemployment and low wages. All this results in poverty which causes malnutrition specially during the early years which causes low IQ in the indigenous population. I blame the catholic church and Spain for all that.

Jesus Christ, I'm from Guatemala and what that guy says is bulshit. Guatemala has a free market witch means that prices aren't set, If he'd be a smart guy he could have gotten a pound of fish for 7 or 8 quetzales and even less. While I was living in guatemala I would make Q 2,500 a month = $358.00 and I had a very decent life, The probleme of guatemala is a very poor education and I consider religion to be a great obstacle. Manny people believe that if you're rich you will not go to heaven.

@KRauSLoCo that's not always sanitary especially in impoverished areas. awfully privileged to assume that people can just eat their food raw
