20. Seriously, now: Your ceasing to eat animal products

Edited on Wed Apr-29-09 02:47 PM by MineralMan

does precisely nothing to feed that kid. Nothing. What does help to feed him is direct monetary donations to organizations who are bringing food to him. While it may make you feel better to not eat meat, it doesn't help the cause of world hunger directly, or even indirectly.

The food is available. Someone just has to buy it, transport it, and distribute it. If you want to help, that's what helps children like the boy you described. Being a vegetarian is a choice. Donating actual money is another choice. Do as you choose.
