The funniest thing about the stresses put on the Black races is that they often backfire on those putting them there... In Zimbabwe sanctions had all the shelves in the shops throughout the country bare and people have been moaning continuously about 'starvation'. However, the roadside vendors carried everything... at a VERY high price! They also carried the normal indigenous green vegetables, onions, tomatoes etc at NORMAL:hello: price. Guess who never felt the sanctions at all - the Rastas - coz they had been shopping there all along and the normal Rasta diet was always available at no extra cost; The end result of the sanctions is that our people were forced into healthier eating habits due to the unavailability of the favoured junk foods and the high cost of beer and alcohol. Weed prices remained unchanged... Nobody is looking the worse for the enforced vegetarian diet.:sphinx:
