Aristide's ouster hasn't filled any Haitian bellies

One lesson of life in Haiti is to never say things cannot get any worse. They can, and they have.

People say they have less money, less food, and less hope since the start of the February revolt that toppled president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

For most Haitians, this has nothing to do with last week's deadly floods, which left 1,000 dead and 1,600 missing in Haiti, according to Monday's official government estimate.

It has to do with the price of rice.

The cost of rice has soared in the past four months, and to live in Haiti, one must have rice.
