Two news items, literally read one after another.

“Poor Hatians resort to eating dirt”

With food prices rising, Haiti’s poorest can’t afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies. Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country’s central plateau.

“Tom Cruise 1st to get Ducati superbike”
