Just...that attitude right there, that is part of the problem. That humans who struggle but stand on principle somehow are less deserving than those who willfully throw away their morals or values for comfort.
In that moment, he chose to stand by what was important to him knowing the risks involved. That's one of the things I believe makes us human: the ability to sacrifice our personal benefit for greater causes than ourselves. To suggest he should throw that aside so as not to prolong hunger, instead of critique the system that demands he sell his principles for unhealthy foodstuffs "they" deem appropriate?
