"Ridiculous Way My Neighbour Is Feeding Her Children" - Mrdecent

RIDICULOUS WAY MY NEIGHBOUR IS FEEDING HER CHILDREN.

I live among mostly the illiterates and less have .I always love to relate with them and know their problems in other to see how I could help especially in the area of their education ( not that I am that rich oh but at least I am a bit more enlightened than them )

So after the last Sunday service I went to meet this neighbour of mine .we were discussing how the country economy has been affecting individual . it was at that point the woman told me something that was very shocking . she said since this issue of increase in rice price ,that she has been “applying brain” to the consumption of the rice . The woman lost her husband years ago leaving behind 5 young children . she said her children love to eat rice a lot hence the reason for the application of wisdom .

She said ,she would buy like 5 cups of rice ,then buy one cup of pepper . she said ordinarily ,they are supposed to cook 7 cups of rice . she said thou the food may look small when served but before they could finish the rice that the children would have been satisfied after the intake of a lot of water . she said most times there are always left over for the other time . she also told me that she applies that method to other food like beans and soup .

I was shocked and I have been thinking on how I could help them out from such predicaments .

This is a serious issue in this country oh. I know we are going to overcome last last
