A Cuban woman couldn't help but get emotional seeing the refrigerators full of meat in a supermarket in the United States. A moment of emotion that we were able to witness thanks to the user @pepecuban on TikTok sharing the video.
When asked why she is crying, the woman responds with tears in her eyes: "Because of the hunger that is experienced in Cuba, buddy. Here there is everything. This really makes my skin crawl." Her reaction reflects the contrast between the scarcity experienced on the island and the abundance of products available in American supermarkets.
The video has quickly gone viral on the social network, touching the hearts of thousands of Cubans who have left messages of support and empathy for the woman's feelings upon seeing the food. The recording shows the woman's emotion and reflects the harsh reality that many Cubans face daily.
In the comments of the video, we find messages like: "You have to live it to understand it," "I also cried, especially when there are loved ones left behind," "And I was crying too, oh God, and I don't even know them, but that’s the pure literal reality," "It happened to me the first time, so I understand you and you think about those who were left," "It's sad, the first time I had a Thanksgiving celebration I couldn't eat because of the lump in my throat seeing so much food, and that was 12 years ago, just imagine now that Cuba is worse," "I also cried the first time I went into a Walmart, it’s not easy having lived and not knowing what it’s like to live as a person," or "I think all Cubans have cried upon entering a market here in the USA for the first time."
