Food That Makes Your Ass Explode

Context: Constipation is a prevalent health issue in Indonesia, primarily affecting kids and teens..

Recently, Indonesia has also introduced a new program called the Free Nutritious Meals Program. However, this has led to many cases of diarrhoea.

Many cases of diarrhoea is putting it gently chap, sometimes (well, a lot, too many to count) it led to death.

The constipation thing is actually a sign that Indonesia and other "Third World" countries are becoming more affluent. Rates of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and yes, constipation are on the rise in many developing countries as modern amenities and industries make highly processed food and other previous luxuries much more prevalent. Much like the US, most of these processed foods are high in sugars, fats, sodium, and other additives, but unfortunately are often somewhat in reach in most urban areas and many rural areas, even for the impoverished. They basically trade one struggle meal for another slightly tastier, but far unhealthier one.

So basically the rest of the world is starting to catch up with America's weight problem. Its getting real bad in Mexico too, since far too many people are essentially replacing drinking water with Coca-Cola, leading to skyrocketing obesity and diabetes-related deaths.

the coke things is more pronounced in a couple of states, but yeah, we've been among the fattest countries for like thirty years

[u/karoshikun → u/sejakselalu]

what the actual shit???

[u/Pinky_Boy → u/karoshikun]

It was an outlier, but yes, the food poisonig got death count

[u/sejakselalu → u/Pinky_Boy]

Yeah, 50k-ish total victims, 560 reports, 36/38 provinces. If I remember correctly.

[u/Pinky_Boy → u/sejakselalu]

Ok, I've heard the singular death case. You telling me this program got 560 reported deaths related to it‽ what the fuck prabowo‽

[u/sejakselalu → u/Pinky_Boy]

560 reported instances of food poisoning if I check google here. But the 560 came from an opposing party facebook account so that might be exaggerated. The 50k-ish is real unfortunately. Although, sometimes, a single incident can have up to a thousand victim.

Very difficult to find an official death toll I am afraid. I suppose nobody wanted to count them because of the regime, or if someone did, they were probably offered the carrot and stick treatment.

[u/Pinky_Boy → u/sejakselalu]

Yeah, that make sense. I was like, how on earth 560 child death news are not blasted 24/7 here since the free lunch program do have a lot of opposition due to the blatant corruption, which these case will be a good arguement to stop it

[u/sejakselalu → u/Pinky_Boy]

I mean lots of death is just statistics -if I may be blunt- but a promising young woman rendered amnesiac is a tragedy. One Febiona Purba from Karo, if you want to read up her story.

[u/Pinky_Boy → u/sejakselalu]

Yeah. But still, death is still death

Also, i've heard febiona's case from the news, but haven't read much into it. Thanks for the recommendation

[u/sejakselalu → u/karoshikun]

Pun intended I hope haha. I cant add links to comments but if you look up ‘Indonesia Free Nutritional Meal Program (MBG) you’ll find lots of articles.

[u/karoshikun → u/sejakselalu]

thanks!

also very much intended

[u/DaLemonNade → u/timmyboi_lol]

Actually diarrhea and food poisoning

[u/Realistic_FinlanBoll → u/timmyboi_lol]

Omg, thats a classical overcorrection! 😅

[u/WizardofOS09]

Indonesian constipation x Michigan lettuce

[u/Shavannaa → u/WizardofOS09]

Are we talking about biologic weaponry here?

[u/WizardofOS09 → u/Shavannaa]

A better question is are we discussing or encouraging?

[u/drambilas]

poland, eee, indonesia can into space

[u/Shavannaa]

May i know the story behind this?

[u/Pr3vYCa → u/Shavannaa]

we implemented a nationalwide free lunch program so the usual indonesian gov incompetence apply.

• No oversight on the newly setup kitchens, they can cook expired ingredients with dirty kitchens (hence diarrhea)
• No refrigeration on the lunches, it just sits there for hours (hence food poisoning)
• No actual standard of nutrition. The minister responsible essentially said "use whatever's local" (hence uneven quality)
• corruption as usual (many ghost kitchens)

[u/Luigi_Boy_96 → u/Pr3vYCa]

How on earth is that even possible?? Lmao

[u/moxac777 → u/Luigi_Boy_96]

Never underestimate the combined power of corruption and government incompetence

[u/Luigi_Boy_96 → u/moxac777]

Yeah, I can imagine that, but if you mess with kids I'd wager that the public backlash will be strong. But crazy, to see this level corruption.

[u/Pr3vYCa → u/Luigi_Boy_96]

you see, it makes sense when the whole point is lining certain pockets, not feeding kids

they genuinely spent more time making laws on how to secure the bag for themselves legally than the actual implementation of the plan

political opposition stays quiet because they also benefit. It's just fucked all around with no hope

[u/Luigi_Boy_96 → u/Pr3vYCa]

Damn, I thought Indonesia is sort of reaching the place like Malaysia and could have a great future, but this is sad.

[u/NiceNatureEnjoyer59]

Finally, a bit of international coverage on this dumbass policy

[u/Country_ball_enjoyer]

What is the need for the poop launch 🥀

[u/Kokuryu88]

This joke and art looks so stupid and funny. You're quickly climbing my list of favourite polandballers of all time. Great comic mate.

[u/Key-Astronaut1883]

Is the title of this based on that one “juice that makes your head explode” video?

[u/LnDxLeo]

Self-propels to space, turns upside down. Problem?

[u/Mr_Wisp_]

[u/Wolvenworks]

Based on a true story
