Growing a garden takes time and effort, and not feasible for every area. For example, rodents run rampant in an area a few miles near me because they flushed the sewers and are constructing homes. This has been an ongoing problem for years now.

My aunt's garden was destroyed by them. To stop rodents from getting in, they'd have to spend a lot of money on maintenance, or build an enclosed garden -- but oh wait, you can't do that without expensive materials and permits which may not be granted.

Obviously no one "forces" anyone to eat McDonald's, yes. But there are a lot of demoralizing restrictions right now with the rapidly rising cost of food, diminishing time from families who are trying to keep up with rising property costs and gas costs, and still many mouths to feed.

So it's easy to understand -- if you're not retarded and slow -- why people end up turning to fast food more frequently, especially right now.

To act like it's feasible for everyone to have a garden is laughable, and not everyone has the opportunity, space, funds, time or even legal allowance to do so. That's just not reality. Your own personal experiences and situation does not mean everyone else has those same experiences or situations.

But yes -- people aren't going hungry. That's true. People have opportunities to obtain food for cheap, even if it's fast food. It is also not our responsibility to "end world hunger" either.
