but i have some glue

Every individual life truly is invaluable. Everyone deserves essentials to survive. Everyone with kids deserves to know their kids will never go hungry. That their grandkids will never go hungry. The amount of mental and emotional stress removed from society makes it worth doing whatever it takes to direct whatever resources necessary to ensure everyone has access to food. And, more importantly, every single child deserves to be born in a society that provides for their well being. Because every single child is invaluable and irreplaceable. 

And that's just the baseline of a healthy society. Not just physically, in that food is a requirement for the nutrition necessary to be physically healthy. But a society that doesn't care enough to ensure proper food every person that comprises it... cannot be an emotionally healthy society. It only makes sense that rooted in the ability to allow children to starve are most of the horrors of modern society. It's a foundational trauma, an enabling trauma, a gateway trauma. If a person can justify looking away from a child going hungry, what else can they convince themselves to ignore? At the very least, in order to avoid the serious self examination and any sense of guilt, they will have to justify ignoring all the negative consequences that result from that hunger.

Hunger impairs one's ability to focus and learn. So ignoring hunger leads to ignoring the effects hunger has on education. Which leads to a severe issue in the school systems being largely ignored despite the obviousness of the problem and simplicity of the solution. And then all the snowballing problems that result from kids growing up in a society that didn't care enough about them to ensure they ate, coupled with unsuccessful educational experience, cannot properly be addressed. So prisons overfill. Addicts overdose. More and more people have no home. And the amount of stress that plagues humanity as a whole grows exponentially.

It's difficult to discuss the damage being abusive has on the abuser, because the focus rightly should be on the abused. But never addressing the self harm an abuser does in harming another human being practically guarantees continued harm. In much the same way, a society with all the resources necessary, yet chooses neglect... must examine the harm it has done to itself. And certainly must ask itself, 'Why does everyone continue to surrender their humanity so that those with too much can have more? Why do we continue to carry the emotional weight, and bear the emotional scars, of allowing anyone to be hungry when the resources exist to feed them?'

The reality is, it is very unlikely in a society that raised its children to know their inherent value, and reinforced it by ensuring their basic needs were met, that a single school shooting would have ever occurred. And we all know it, we all feel it in our bones, but we ignore it, and that makes the neglect that much worse. How many generations of shame are the kids of today buried under? How many terrible excuses have been offered up, so that the root of the problem can be ignored? Society cannot say it cares for its children if it does not meet their basic needs, if it does nothing to give them full expression to their humanity. 

It's not that feeding everyone fixes everything, so much as not ensuring everyone is fed ensures nothing ever really gets fixed. It is the necessary baseline for society at large having any hope of regaining its humanity. It is the only way for society to sterilize its self inflicted wounds. Every hungry person harms us all, and anyone who no longer feels that is the most damaged and unhealthy of us all. They should not be the ones in charge of the resources. They should not be the ones saying what is right and wrong, or what a society should be. Anyone who can convince others to dehumanize their neighbor to the point we ignore their basic needs, should not be in charge of anything. Unfortunately they seem to run everything.

Hunger is a foundational trauma, that will inevitably lead to greater trauma. Both for the hungry and those who allow their hunger. All of the world is proof of this. And anyone who denies it, that says they don't feel it in their bones, is lying or far too damaged to be worth listening to.
