Four bakers arrested over illegal brownies in Venezuela's 'bread war'
Guardian said:Venezuela this week arrested four bakers making illegal brownies and other pastries as President Nicolás Maduro’s socialist government threatens to take over bakeries in Caracas as part of a new “bread war”. Maduro has sent inspectors and soldiers into more than 700 bakeries around the capital this week to enforce a rule that 90% of wheat must be destined to loaves rather than more expensive pastries and cakes.
In the meantime, one dollar is worth 2773 Venezuelan "strong" Bolivars, according to Dollar Today. That means that the highest denomination note is worth only about $7.
