Don't feel bad. My neighbors aren't opting to starve, just fortunately live in an area with enough food resources that even in the lowest national income bracket we can be somewhat choosy.

I've thought about making bulk pet food out of all the waste, because presently it just accumulates until the pyramid gets ridiculous and has to be thrown out, but it's always there in the lobby just in case someone is at that point of mental illness or just broken in spirit that it might be their last resort. Or maybe their recipe calls for 10 pounds of of chic peas. Eh.
