Due to the rising cost of food, Haitians have resorted to eating food that contains mud. Women will fill round molds with a mixture of dirt, water, vegetable shortening and salt and set them on the roof to dry into what have been dubbed, "mud cookies". This woman makes mud cookies on the the roof of Fort Dimanche, a former prison in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, 29 November, 2007.
