The system is designed to extract, not to feed. Produce for the West. Starve at home.

Gustavo Petro asks the question the West does not want answered.
"If Argentina is an exporter of quality meat, why can't Argentinians eat quality meat and are stuck eating donkey meat?"
That is not just a question about Argentina. That is a question about the entire Global South.
Countries rich in resources. Oil. Gold. Lithium. Cocoa. Coffee. Beef. Yet their own people cannot afford what they produce.
Argentina exports premium beef to Europe and China. Argentinians eat donkey meat.
Nigeria exports oil. Nigerians queue for hours for subsidized fuel.
DRC exports cobalt. Congolese miners live on less than $2 a day.
Ghana exports cocoa. Ghanaian children have never tasted quality chocolate.
The system is designed to extract, not to feed. Produce for the West. Starve at home.
Petro is right. This cannot happen in Colombia. And it should not happen anywhere in Africa or the Global South.
The question is not why Argentinians eat donkey meat. The question is who profits from that arrangement.
It's time to change the answer.
