Brazil Plans to feed Children “Human Pet Food”
Video
Description
In a city-wide austerity measure last year, Doria shot down a city council plan to “improve the city’s diet” by providing small-scale farmers space to sell fruit and vegetables on the street and creating city-wide price controls on fruits and vegetables. Instead, the mayor wants to give tax breaks to companies that donate food.
Critics of Doria’s plan say the mayor’s scheme is completely contrary to nationwide food security plans and longstanding nutritional practices.
The pellets are produced by Synergy Platform, a Catholic organization that claims the product has the “blessing” of Pope Francis, The Guardian reported. The company did not reply to questions from the publication about the product’s nutritional composition.
On Thursday, families and children protested the possible introduction of the pellets into schools.
