When you feed the poor, you're called a Saint
When you ask why the poor have no food, you're called a communist.
I work a couple food service jobs and the waste brings a tear to my eye. And that's just what makes it to the restaurant. Oh this tomato doesn't look perfect? Throw it away.
Perfect tomato's for sale: $10 each.
Then the pile of perfect tomatos rot as hungry eyes look upon it from outside the store. (They aren't allowed inside, the vagrants might steal!) Rotten like the hearts of those who gatekeep necessities for profit and power.
That just Is word for word the peak of "grapes of wrath "
"The oranges needed to be dumped in kerosene and burned. It is cheaper than dumping them in the river and making sure the poor don't take them... why? All for the sake of profit"
