Yup.
It's almost as if the entirety of this kind of argument is based upon how awful it would be for so many people to starve. There were eight million human beings alive on the Earth at the dawn of agriculture, 10,000 years ago. Should billions of people live malnourished lives in order for the writer to feel good about his dietary choices?
Wouldn't it be better if everyone were eating well? (I realize this question is lost on the author, so I pose it to you all.) |
