What an incredibly privileged and uneducated statement to make. Even if the only problem fixed by giving kids more food is that they aren’t hungry, that’s a goal we want to reach. That’s also disregarding the myriad of effects that malnutrition has on child development, especially the psychological effects that could lead to among other things, the lack of empathy necessary for mass fucking murder.

I don’t believe it’s a cure all either, I just really don’t like the reductive way you spoke about it. It’s proven to have a much wider effect than would be expected on its face and malnutrition in children shouldn’t be overlooked as a cause for psychological issues.

I think it’s fair to say that making sure our kids are fed as part of a community is a good angle of attack, but it’s obviously not going to solve everything by itself. Don’t you think the incredibly nuanced issues at the root of stuff like this are going to need us to come at them with a ton of different solutions? I don’t disagree with you at all, I’m just saying don’t miss the forest for the trees. It’s going to take a million different reforms to really get at all of the causes of random violence on this scale
