Obesity and malnutrition are two ends of the same coin. In industrial societies we subsidized calorie-dense products (in the US these are corn based), and mostly lead sedentary lifestyles even as children.
Kropotkin would have a lot to say about how children of the lower and even middling American classes are both overweight & malnourished at the same time. That's without even getting to the fact that 20% of children are "food insecure" in the wealthiest capitalist liberal democracy on the planet.
I hack because some rules were made to be broken. The rule that some children get to eat while others don't is barbarism. I never knew about "school lunch debt" until I immigrated to the US. How could I not hack in a society where many dogs lead better lives than the children (domestic & abroad)?
