- Who deserves to eat... "The only question I have is this: who deserves to eat? Only children who's parent pass a moral standard of some kind? Only people who are clean and pleasant? Only people who buy the food that you like? Because what it comes down to when anyone suggests that some people just don't deserve food is the question just who passes muster and gets your benevolent mercy? I believe in my heart of hearts that it doesn't matter if I like you, if you like me, if you are a moral person, if you are a criminal, or if you are going to eat the way that I think that you should, the only thing that really matters if you are hungry. If you are hungry, you deserve to eat."
