In some parts of Haiti, people have been known to eat “mud cookies” made from a mixture of yellow clay, salt, and oil.
These clay discs drew global attention during the 2008 food crisis, when extreme poverty forced many families to rely on them as a last resort.
Although they provide almost no real nutritional value, the cookies are sometimes eaten to reduce hunger pains and create a temporary feeling of fullness when no other food is available.
For many observers, mud cookies have become a stark symbol of global inequality and the harsh reality faced by communities struggling to access basic food.
