Eat Carp

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said one way to get rid of an invasive species is to eat it for dinner. NOAA is trying to turn Asian carp into a nutritious meal for Haitian earthquake victims. NOAA said the fish is a nuisance for Louisiana fishermen and often gets caught in their nets. But it's full of protein. Toss in a bit of tomato sauce and it resembles a popular Haitian sardine dish. Orphans at a children's home on the island gobbled it up in a pilot program. Now NOAA is working toward canning enough carp to fill a 40-foot shipping container heading to Haiti.

    Don't they know how things work in Haiti? The criminal and corrupt government confiscates all charity and donations until bribes are paid to release it. No bribes? The government then takes it and SELLS it and keeps the proceeds. Bribes paid? Same result. Why do you think thousands are STILL walking in sewage and sleeping in tents, getting raped and robbed every day, despite hundreds of MILLIONS in donations and charity? C'mon man....wake up.
