Why is it so hard for some people to imagine what incredible lengths they would go to to get something to eat, if they were literally starving to death?

I posted an article that said the GMO scare was unfounded, that we’ve been eating GMO food for the last 10 years.

Rarebear once said it could mean the end of starvation in under developed countries.

Someone, who lives in South Africa, said something like, “Eat all the GMO you want, but keep that crap away from our rural, uneducated Africans.”

I asked, “Isn’t the rural, uneducated Africans who are starving to death?”

At one point I asked what she would do if she was starving to death. She said she would ”...beg for organic food.”

I asked if she would actually turn down GMO food if she was starving? She hasn’t answered that.

Why is it so hard for some people to fathom what starvation is? I mean, you would eat your shoes, you would eat leaves, you would eat grass, you would eat just about anything you could get your hands on that could be eaten. I have never been starving, but I can understand the lengths I would go to if I was.
