In the wake of impoverishment in Brazil and the devastating economic and social crisis which is already the biggest in history , a supermarket chain in Vila Velha, in Espírito Santos, offers its customers, “inviting prices”, trays of chicken skin. The by-product extracted from the birds, normally discarded at other times, is sold at R$ 2.99 per kilo and its excess consumption is highly harmful to health because it is rich in fats.
“Good afternoon! I lived for this, see? The world is really very difficult and we will work to survive, because living is not going to work, no. Look at this here… Chicken skin, something we clean the chickens and throw the skins away… Other people even fry them to take advantage of the fat, right… Because oil is expensive. Now, you buy chicken skin to eat? Guys, we used to throw this away, or at least I… I throw it away or fry it to take advantage of the fat… If the chicken feet they’re selling here in the market weren’t enough, and what are you selling now? Chicken skin!”, says the indignant consumer who recorded the images and posted them on social networks.
Bolsonaro’s Misery Menu
A supermarket in Belém, Pará, is selling fish scraps
viscera, bones and heads) at R$ 3.90 per kilo
. The “product” is just one more in the list of leftovers and very low quality residues that have been dominating the shelves of the food trade across the country because of accelerated impoverishment of the population imposed by the Bolsonaro government.
In the image circulating on social media, a styrofoam wrapper wrapped in plastic film shows a mixture of skin, head, blood and pimples properly labeled, at the price of R$ 2.01
, for just over 500 grams . The comments of netizens who come across the absurd photo are of indignation and protest .
In butcher shops in Rio de Janeiro Janeiro and Cuiabá (MT), huge lines form for people to receive as alms the shameful bovine bones. The people from Santa Catarina did not have the same luck, who have to pay R$ 4 per kilo of the “product”. In Niterói, “sambiquira”, or “dorso”, euphemisms for the leftover chicken carcass, have been sold for R$ 8.69.
On a highway that cuts through the state of Mato Grosso, near the municipality of Várzea Grande, what stands out is the sign offering pelanca at BRL 0.99. The image turns the stomach because it makes us think about how someone would consume such a thing.
The shameful row of bones
In July 2021,

Normalized misery is a photograph that materializes the data released in April 2021, the result of a study developed by Grupo de Pesquisa Alimentar para Justiça, from the Free University of Berlin, in Germany, in partnership with Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and with Universidade de Brasília (UnB): 59.4% of Brazilian households showed some level of of food insecurity.
125 million human beings in Brazil, in a total universe of 212 million inhabitants of the country, cannot eat properly. Among them, 13%, that is, 27 million, are currently living in absolute misery, with nothing, to God he will give, hungry, without a house, without water, without anything.
Food inflation
With inflation hitting records, the year 2021 recorded an index of 10.06%. In the case of food, the impact was much greater: 21.39% since the beginning of the pandemic, for foodstuffs as a whole, although the increase is more felt in some products.
IPCA data point to a 15% increase in the value of meats in 12 months. According to the National Supply Company (Conab), the consumption of red meat in Brazil is the lowest in the last 26 years. Egg prices also rose in the period; the variation was 17% according to the Consumer Price Index (IPC) of the FGV.
Egg consumption in Brazil, which had already increased in 2020, grew again in 2021 and set a new record. With the rise in the price of red meat, eggs have become the main alternative for those who have no money, according to data from the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA).
