I strongly suggest divorcing your argument that, e.g., "concern over food insecurity is important" from "patio11 was not food insecure." In addition to improving the quality of the discussion, debating the second argument will be mildly embarrassing for me and very, very embarrassing for you, so let's skip it.


Well, you got a point there. It's not being X is a necessary conclusion of you stating Y --you can take them apart and answer any of them you like.

I just assumed that it is so, because that's how privileged people I know talk (conversely, having had days searching for scraps myself --mainly as a self-employed student--, I wouldn't even think of dismissing the importance of food insecurity).
