Quote:
Carlos Machado Allison, an agricultural economist at the Institute for Higher Administrative Studies in Caracas, said demand for food had climbed more than 30 percent in the last two years with the oil boom, while Venezuela’s capacity to produce food grew only 5 percent.

This economist is trying to make it sound like it's a bad thing that not only is the economy growing and thus demand for food but that food production is increasing too. So what if Chávez is running against the free market? He's putting people before profits and the benefits are showing. He is doing a good job. Venuzuela is a democracy and clearly the people support him.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
