In late May, in a gritty outer ring settlement of Monterrey, Mexico, over 400 men, women and children stopped a grain train and carried its cargo off to their homes. Shouting "We're hungry!," women hauled off the contraband in buckets and two-year-old children carried it gingerly across the tracks in plastic bags. At the end of the day, 40 tons of corn had disappeared into the community of San Nicolas de la Garza.
