@evan In order to lose weight I chose to "go hungry"

@evan Should any mammal go hungry?

@evan it seems obvious that food and water for everyone should be the first order of business for society, but here we are. I guess it's not obvious to the psychopaths in power. :(

@evan well.... Those people with the red hats ... I'm ok with them going hungry

@evan

And if anyone does start getting hungry, we start eating the rich.

If food is available (not needed more by another person), no person should go hungry.

Emphatically, the state has no “we could feed you but we choose not to” justification to keep someone hungry.

@evan

@evan yes but only if they want/need to.

i need to go hungry more often.

in all seriousness, of course hunger is a horrible thing to impose to another human being, it is torture.

@evan I feel like rich people should have to take the bus, live rough, and go hungry at least once a year.

@evan there are a lot of bad people who deserve to, but no.. no one SHOULD. Even them.

@evan Yes! hunger prolongs life

@evan No. We have enough food that even those few who don't contribute anything should get something to eat.

@evan I predicted that this thread would devolve to different definitions of "hungry" and here we are haha. The answer is either "obviously yes of course" or … something else depending on your politics.

@evan
When you say 'go hungry', you're (of course) referring to being hungry, unintentionally, due to lack of edible material, or opportunity to attain said material.. Right?

No, no person should go hungry.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

@evan There will always be some noise in the data but I'm disappointed that the result was not closer to consensus on No.

@evan No. No. No. It is a bit sad that because people say they are 'hungry' or 'starving' all the time, they now think thats what these words mean. I've never gone hungry in my life. My Dad did go hungry as a child in Mexico and it caused him lifelong trauma.
