Are the kinds of people who write this (and for whom the article is intended) so ridiculously rich they think they eat because it's a luxury they can afford rather than because they need to? Are they under the impression that starvation is just something stupid people believe exists?
Or maybe they're the opposite of babies when it comes to object permanence; they believe in it so much, that because they've never seen their cupboards and fridge empty, then to them it means it's impossible for food to run out.
I think it is actually not that far from the truth. If you've spent all your life inside the gilded bubble from which professional opinion-havers are drawn the concept of being broke is incomprehensible. They might have heard about it sometimes but emotionally it doesn't make sense to them. They can only comprehend of financial trouble as bankrupting your business and having to start a new one or having to spend money from a savings account.
No money, at all? No, that can't be, nobody lives like that. None of the people I know have ever had trouble buying food. Those poors must be over-dramatising it.
