Only the government is allowed to have the food? Fixed food prices? This is scary stuff! If I was one of the farmers, would I have any incentive to grow food if the government is just going to take it from me and I have no profit?
Venezuelan troops seize food | WORLD | NEWS | tvnz.co.nz: "Venezuela's top food company has accused troops of illegally seizing more than 500 tonnes of food from its trucks as part of President Hugo Chavez's campaign to stem shortages.
The leftist Chavez this week created a state food distributor and loosened some price controls, seeking to end months of shortages for staples like milk and eggs that have caused long lines and upset his supporters in the OPEC nation.
The highly publicised campaign has also included government crackdowns on accused smuggling, with the military seizing 1,600 tonnes of food and sending 1,200 troops to the border with Colombia."
