Food Rations, Baracoa, Cuba, 1998

"[Shoppers pick up the day's ration of bread]—one roll apiece. 'Rationing is the worst thing about Cuba these days,' says one of the many women with no hard currency to buy extra groceries at the well-stocked dollars-only stores."

—Text from "Cuba," June 1999, National Geographic magazine
