By "der'mocrats"(der'mo is sh#t in Russian :) ) statistics in the 1990 (one of the hardest year as I remember) the meat consumption per capita was 68 kg a year, in the 1995 - 48 kg, in the 1999 - 34 kg and even in the 2003 it became 65 kg per capita a year. So, when there was no free lunch? You see, it was not in the USSR, it was in the "democratic" Russia. You shouldn't watch Euronews and BBS too much, it's dangerous to your brain.
Hey my friend, this is an expression. I'm not literally talking about a "lunch". I'm just saying that there is flip side of having something free. Therefore nothing can be free. :?
The most basic human need—food—is at the heart of the fact that Capitalism is the best system. One has to work for making food. Do you expect the one making food is going to give away for FREE the result of his long hard work? He will want to trade with you, only if you have something that he needs.
Communism ideas are good for intellectual masturbation, but in practice they don't work.
You are currently unhappy because Russia is still recovering from the Soviet System and it will take a generation, just to change the mentality of yours and of the old apparatchiks
