Eat rats to battle food crisis: Indian official
2008-08-19
We don't have an "Ohfergawdsake" category, more's the pity.
A state government in eastern India is encouraging people to eat rats in an effort to battle soaring food prices and save grain stocks. Authorities in Bihar, one of India's poorest states, are asking rich and poor alike to switch to eating rats in a bid to reduce the dependence on rice.
The article doesn't say what political party this guy's in. Whichever one it is, I suggest voting for the other one. Trust me on that.
Gent is Vijay Prakash and he's not a politician. He's the Principal Secretary of the State Welfare Dept. He has other ideas too - hiring eunuchs as security guards to maternity wards in hospitals and catching snakes for venom as an economic activity for the poor
