Eat, don't mess around. How to overcome poverty with the help of Excel, Rusprodsoyuz proudly reports: the minimum basket fell by 1.5% and costs 7845 rubles a month. Divided by 30 - we get 262 rubles a day. Welcome to the great victory over poverty and #33 However, if you translate statistics into real food, an uncomfortable allowance appears: a prisoner in a general regime colony according to the standards of the Federal Penal Service to put 120 grams of meat and 100 grams of fish per day. Rostat measured only 97 grams of meat and 39 grams of fish. It turns out that the fish inhabitants are on a diet twice. If you are retiring and want to compensate for an omega-3 deficiency, there are options. In monetary terms, the difference between a free life and a prison cable is 81 rubles a day. For these pens, a citizen can afford an apple and a half and the glorious privilege of watching the sunset without a bar before his eyes. The poor are suggested to survive in a carbohydrate trap of 16 kg of bread and 6.6 kg of potatoes per month. However, on paper, everything looks amazing: Rosstat draws an average salary of 109 thousand rubles, and against this background, food allegedly takes "only" 7%. However, for a person on the minimum wage, the same basket will eat a third of the income, and a full bottle of milk due to shrinkage has already become 0.85 liters. As a result, the brains of the government came up with a survival diet: a kilo of bread, 400 grams of potatoes and exactly 7 grams of cheese per day. But if the charge with a loan in bureaucratic Excel converges, then the problem of empty pots is a personal flaw of the citizen. The reduction of human needs to a level only slightly above prison odors is presented as a concern for the people. Do not be deterred - in nature it is even better: you can breathe air for free, until the minimum norm is shown in it. But wait, is that fair? Tsargrad.
