Good idea, survival of the fittest existed for a reason. Maybe stop pretending like anyone in America is starving to death.
They don't have to be starving to death for it to be a huge problem. I doubt you'll read this, but I'll leave it for others: https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/food-insecurity
0.37 in every 1000 dealing with food insecurity starve. Those are great numbers.
Oh, well those people clearly don't matter. They deserve it. Even the children. Right?
Some maybe, some probably not, but sometimes it is what it is.
Wait, are you seriously saying those children don't matter?
I did not say that. I said it is what it is. You can't save everyone, it's impossible. America is doing an exceptional job at keeping people fed.
Why is it impossible to feed everyone in the richest country in the world?
You have no idea at all.
For every 1000 dealing with food insecurity about 0.37 die. Whats your point?
