101. Unfortunately for your position, when space is limited, it's a zero sum situation.
Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 06:48 PM by Hosnon
And a zero sum situation is not a false dichotomy. If there is room for only 10 tons of food, using one for food designated for animals means less food designated for humans. In such a situation, providing for one is denying the other.

Now, the article I cited supports the idea that not all 10 tons are needed for humans; therefore, cargo capacity might no longer be zero sum.
