Myanmar slams aid, says survivors can eat frogs [1]

Yangon: Myanmar's ruling junta lashed out at foreign aid donors on Friday, saying cyclone victims did not need supplies of "chocolate bars' and could instead survive by eating frogs and fish. The New Light of Myanmar newspaper, a government mouthpiece, also warned foreign relief workers could snoop inside homes, and condemned donors for linking aid money to full access to the hardest-hit regions in the Irrawaddy delta.
