CNN just reported that nutritional biscuits have been brought in by aid workers and distributed amongst hundreds-thousands of individuals. In the midst of distribution, a man began yelling that the biscuits were expired. Droves of men, woman and children followed his lead and refused to eat them; throwing them to the ground and stomping on them in anger.
As per a CNN reporter the biscuits are good to consume for up to 1 year. The ring leader had obviously misread the expiration date. This forced the aid truck to move on with a truck full of food supplements. This pretty much sounds duplicate to what happened on Wednesday night, when someone started screaming that the Tsunami was coming. This simultaneously resulted in hundreds of people running in an opposite direction to where even CNN couldn't determine.
There is no type of order in Haiti and something has got to give. The security situation has just risen another notch. All the doctors and nurses now have to be evacuated, forcing them to leave the 700 patients in the makeshift hospital's all alone. A lot more people will possibly lose their lives should a prompt action not be taken.

I saw this on CNN last night and it angered me that this ONE guy and his False Understanding starved people
The quote below documents what I saw. The problem I have with people of influence jumping to conclusions, or telling everyone what they should or shouldn't do out of their assumptions will actually kill people. That's why I war so hard against untruth.

Ha, on Boy Scout trips, we often eat expired food. You can order last year's stuff from Philmont for dirt cheap and it was all perfectly good and nutrious. But it is human nature to be suspicious and not trust and I am sure the situation is ripe for that. It is just difficult to deal with - if it were all in Nebraska, we could move stuff in from surrounding areas fast but the difficulty of getting in and out - and trying to get the wrogn stuff in could block the right stuff - with a weak government, crappy communication, no resources to begin with, the delays that all caused must feel to them like no on cares.
