If I eat this, will the children in Africa stop starving?

“What do you want me to do, express mail my meal to African children? If you care about the starving children so much, than donate to UNESCO. Also can I get some buter bred pls”

Same here!

People said that to me a lot when I was a kid and I took a very long time (only once a teenager or adult?) to understand what they even meant by that (how was that sentence going to make me eat?). It even had the opposite effect, I was like: cool a solution: less for me, more for them, and everyone’s happy!

Even now that I get the thought, I still think this is a nonsensical sentence to convince people they should eat things they don’t want to.
