Eating isn't a choice. Please don't deflect from the criticism of your claim.

Downvote me all you like Andrew, but I'm going to call you out for espousing ideas that can literally kill people.




I can't downvote you, HN doesn't allow you to downvote people who reply to you.

I'll leave you with this quote of yours to consider:

> Choosing not to eat is self-destruction and there is absolutely nothing about that that's a moral choice. In fact, it's generally accepted to be immoral.

If something is immoral, there must have been a moral choice made to engage in the immoral activity. "Moral choice" here is a technical term which means the choice itself has moral weight, not that the choice is moral.
