Fair enough Kizzy,I haven't studied it so perhaps I shouldn't comment,but to me there is a difference between being hungry and starving and although I was not around in the 40s,people say they were the good old days,yes they struggled,but in those days people helped out each other,and cooked their own fresh food,sometimes in life we have to rely on ourselves and not other people,I am all for helping the very needy,hell, my mom has tried to get stuff for a disabled man she has looked after for years and he cant get it so she improvises,I am sure there are so many people worse off than us in this world,but as I say I haven't studied it , I don't want anyone to starve or even be hungry,but I do know people who would rather have a fag than a meal.
