- squarefoot 5y agoProbably true, however it is possible that in a system where money is everything, not being able to afford food, although it's being given for free anyway, cold be enough to turn someone suicidal.
- 93po 5y agoIt's really sad to see someone assuming that just because you don't literally die of starvation that limited access to food doesn't have extremely profound, inter-generational effects to millions of people in this country. People in 2021 deserve to have access to food regardless of circumstances. Starvation by definition doesn't mean death by lack of food. It means you are deficient and unhealthy because of it. Which absolutely happens a LOT in this country.
