As the European Union begins the debate about banning certain food colourings, Haiti begins the process of economic and societal collapse. As the article states, the average wage - for those who have one - is 35 gourds and a cup of rice costs 50 gourds. And the farmers cannot begin planting because all they've eaten their own seed stock.
Haiti is the canary in the coal mine and an example to the world of what lies in store for much of the rest of the world as fuel and food prices continue to spiral.
