If food is scarce, wouldn't food hoarding be the rational action?
- Applejinx 8y agoThat happens too, but sitting in a room looking at a marshmallow that's not yours as part of some weird test by adults that aren't trustworthy is NOT the same as having the marshmallow. You might reimagine the test as the 'adults lie and don't keep their promises' test. There's been times I'd absolutely snatch the marshmallow. Then it's munch mine, good luck taking THAT away, adult ;)
