The author's words:
> I would rather go hungry than develop health problems from filling up on ultraprocessed hydrogenated oil government peanut butter.
That is a bizarre, privileged thing to say. Actually hungry people - people at health risk from food scarcity - don't say things like that. People making hypothetical choices say things like that. Some few people facing skipping a single meal might choose that.
But here's the real kicker FTFA:
> We would go to the catholic food box donation center and they gave me a box, but I was vegan and the box was full of garbage Spam and Frank and Beans type stuff that I ended up just settting out on the curb.
This person TOOK donated food, turned up their nose at what it included, and THREW IT OUT. They did not return it so someone else could benefit.
Even most Hindus don't advocate wasting already dead meat when others could eat (the Dalai Llama himself stated that it was no sin to eat meat, if it was already prepared for you - not at your agency - and all that was available). Even most Jews and Muslims don't try to keep others on their own religious diet choices. But this person essentially stole food (took, but didn't use) and threw it away.
That's morally worse by far than simply not giving to charity when one could. This is an immoral person.
