The main reason for food insecurity around the world is the hierarchy of inequality, namely the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities for cultivation and transportation, which causes such negative consequences for population. Owners of farms, fields, and factories face difficulties in the aspect of normal performance that then pass on to ordinary citizens in terms of lack or inadequacy of food (Holmes, 2006). Manufacturers are trying to balance between providing comfort for themselves, paying appropriate salaries for employees, and sufficient food production, although it is difficult (Reese, 2018). However, there are several ways how, for example, Cubans deal with this problem, and the first is that despite the adequacy of food, one still continues to consume it (Garth, 2017). Besides, Cubans try to experiment with various ingredients, mixing them, creating new recipes, and replacing missing ones with new products.
