Loads of people, especially of the young and unmarried kind, including those who absolutely don't struggle to make ends meet, don't give enough of a damn about food to bother, even if they could. This group is not exceptionally high on obesity either. So it's a ridiculous standard to expect for...

I can know that the kind of institutions that throw this particular statistic around will still want a statistic they can throw at US government's face. US obesity statistics would like to have a word with you. And lets not forget the tiny little technical detail that people can still be...

Someone has to do a lot of the "the horrible, soul crushing jobs" to keep modern civilization functioning at all, and more specifically, it has to be a lot of someones. Like building and maintaining the apartments and preparing the lentils. In that system that's really gonna be a lot of...

If we're talking USA, the bulk of the homeless are such either by choice, or because they are too mentally ill to make a reasonable choice. In first case they are just abusing the prosperity, largesse and hospitality of rich and overly generous (yes, those massive costs you mention are part of...
