Amazing the amount of people who hate on him for this part of the story. He didn’t throw away food, he stuck to his morals and didn’t eat it. Hating on a poor person for having dignity? Keep up the good work.

It is because that part does not track at all. It is not healthier to go hungry then to eat that food. It is not "simple life" to ge vegan, it is cranking the complexity and expenses up.

Some part of the story are clear failures of the system. Some parts have nothing to do with the system (moms and dads decision). Some parts are system actually helping, maybe not enough but helping.

And then there were genuinely confusing parts as in someone with a seemingly normal job and three houses feeling like they dont have secure housing.

		If someone makes a decision base on wrong information, what’s to blame: the informations he got or his judgement ability? Two dimensions to interpret this: - article author judgement on what’s healthy based solely on its personal nutritional knowledge at the moment. - the judgement of his decision, solely on the details of this post. IMHO the only fault here is to omit more information he was basing his decision. But reading between the lines: he repeat being "hungry" but never saying "staving". That’s a huge difference: being hungry isn’t a health hasard.
