[ Exito ]


Exito means Success. Though recently I was not very successful at finding sugar (see image above) milk, nor eggs at Exito a large local grocery store.

There was plenty of Equal and Splenda and other sugar substitutes on the shelves.

This may be the new health benefit of Venezuelans, no extra calories due to sugar consumption. No high cholesterol due to egg abuse and even kids can now grow weak and lean without any milk.

I came over via Daniel's blog. I lived for 20 years in Venezuela and have enjoyed looking through your blog. Are you Venezuelan?

According to my high-level rojo-rojito Chavista contacts, you have it all wrong. The empty shelves show how the stores are expanding and need more space to sell to the newly wealthy poor of Venezuela. Sugar is not part of the revolution anyway.
