Fox news reports that in 2016 Encovi conducted a survey on 6,500 families. The study shows that 75% of the Venezuelan population have lost an average weight of 19 pounds for lack of food. They also found that about 32.5% eat only once or twice a day — when a year ago this number was 11.3%. Not to mention that they have resorted into eating cats, dogs, birds and giant ants.
