Perhaps it is the same reason we are contemplating building a laughable, nonessential wall when we have millions hungry.

The wall not being built will not feed the hungry. Being active in local community outreach and actually donating food does.
Some hoary heads are just a worthless as their young counterparts and could use a sound beating from my MIL. She would be happy to beat some dumbasses with a garden hoe. My wife's aunt sustains herself on $650 a month, and happens to be 89 years old and very healthy. Years of eating New River smallmouth and garden vegetables could be a factor, and yes she still gardens at 89. My MIL still works in the garden and pressure cooks vegges at age 87.
Why: Why in the hell do so many Type II diabetics slurp full suger Mt. Dews like it is no big deal.
Why: Why do so many people consume unhealthy food and lead unhealthy lives, and are completely indifferent about the societal cost.
Why: Why don't people take control of the food security issues before it becomes an issue by planting trees, bushes, brambles, vegetable gardens that yield produce? I constantly plant trees, bushes, berries, and generally suffer from excessive food trauma. Still have 100 quarts of canned beans left over from last year.
Why: Why do people that have potable tap water purchase bottled water? Well water is free. Plastic trash kills. Live dumb or die.
Why: Why is being a person of the earth scorned by popular culture. When one divorces themselves from the earth they inhabit, said person or people become completely unmoored from reality.
