    If you think the rich should be able to choose how the poor eat I would counter that the poor should choose whether the rich eat at all.

    Do you think people born to a higher position deserve a better quality of food based on their birthright?

      Do you think people born to a higher position deserve a better quality of food based on their birthright?

      If you go down that path, why not give cows the birthright to live?

        Because the deer that the wolf kills to eat it doesn’t give the deer a right to live.

        We’re animals too. We just happen to be better and more efficient at killing our prey.

          Then why not prey on human labour and take as much as cheap food can offer? Let humans work for a cheap ration of corn. It can’t get much more efficient.
