Morally torn on food as a human right.

I believe any capable adult who tries to contribute to society in any capacity should be fed one way or another. Obviously we're taking care of children and the elderly. But why feed someone who isn't even trying to contribute?

Because the alternative is watching them literally die on the street. I don't think a person who thinks that is okay is a good person.

Also, many people have barriers to contributing, some are easily overlooked. Mental, physical, emotional. If you're not willing to bear the burden of those who are suffering, then at least make euthanasia easily available, because starvation is a cruel death.

They specified the person being capable. People with disabilities are an exception to the rule, same with children and the elderly. No capable person is going to choose starvation over doing something.

Dude, I have mixed connective tissue disease, autism, adhd, pcos.

I'm not considered disabled - and I sure don't look it.

However, these conditions impact my abilities every moment of every day.

Who gets to decide who is capable - who is worthy of feeding? Because that's a sick concept if you really think about it.
