Well, if it ever HONESTLY comes down to you taking food away from a child, then by all means, don't take it. But most pantries have ample food, and your life is no less important. And looking at you has nothing to do with it. Everyone needs the same amount of food in a day, regardless of the way they look. Most people will starve to death in the exact same amount of time, regardless of body type. We can't digest our own bodies to carry us through in times of famine, contrary to the way some people think.
Most food banks cannot fill the demands of the needy. Nothing will change untill we destroy the wealthy elites and thier greed forever.
I feel like that last line ought to have been in purple. At least, it's in purple when I read it.
You can't erase greed. Hell, even poor people I know are greedy. That's part of why I get frustrated to hear of people like self not using a food bank when it's needed, because I see people abusing the priviledge all the time. Human nature does not disappear simply because we wish it to. Finding ways to work with it, or around it, is what's needed. Pure idealism is about as productive as bashing your head repeatedly into a brick wall.
I have nothing against feeding poor folks, but why not do it legally? Seems to me doing it any other way only gets people uptight, decreases your ability to do it again, and depletes your pocketbook contents paying fines.
