Re: homeless person encounter
Its probably not really that hard to get food in any major city if you really want it. We hear statistics about hunger among the homeless and those in poverty but hunger doesn't really mean starvation or lack of food, it usually means a lack of the quality and diversity of food necessary to be healthy.
Basically I'm agreeing with everyone in the thread that any sober, rational homeless person has absolutely no reason to beg for food or starve. Now, I don't know what % of homeless people are sober or rational but it can't be very high (things like schizophrenia are RIDICULOUSLY prevalent among homeless populations) so some probably do still starve to death.
