PAPUA - Food is an ingredient that is needed by everyone in order to survive. Good nutrition contained in local food directly from nature. Local food Papua is Sweet (Petatas), Cassava, Sweet Potato and Sago other complementary foods. But this time the Papuan people prefer to eat rice instead of local food Papua sendiri.Data from reliable sources noted the majority of the people of Papua as much as 30% of Papua's population consumes tubers (petatas), 15% consume sago and the remaining 55% consume rice.
Community's dependency on rice is not only in the urban population but also to villages even in the interior. One factoris due to poor rice program and aid funds without a clear program by the local government so that the public is made lazy to work in the garden. In one area of the interior of the garden away from the residence had become forest because no community gardening and community gardening just near their home, but it was only for animal feed because it prefers to eat rice. For example, children in the interior away from the city and there is no access road just prefer to eat rice and instant noodles than eat potato (petatas). It is very worrying for the future generations of Papua.
Case in one district featured local food commodities in each area was reduced, causing starvation and resulted in many victims died of starvation.Dependence of the people of Papua to Jakarta in all aspects. In this case deserves to be called the Papuan people through food also colonized. Bagimana not, the local government that is an accomplice of the central government provide assistance without a clear program, then it implies that the public is made lazy to work and expect assistance from the government. Whereas formerly independent Papuan people in gardening and support his family as well as survival.(B.y)
