This is right up there with Ted Turner commenting on how healthy North Koreans seemed on his recent visit. They were all thin with nary a fat person to be seen. In that case, I'm sure the residents of Dachau were nearly the healthiest people ever to live. What idiocy.
And as to the headline, 1990s Cuba was "post-revolution Cuba" in the same way that every day since 1956 has been "post-revolutionary" but it is far from an accurate description of the findings. Cuba experienced an "economic crisis" because the USSR collapsed and stopped propping up their inefficient socialist economy that otherwise couldn't feed the population or provide it with spare parts for buses.
What propaganda!
