Murder Through Starvation

Speculating on staple foods causes poor people to starve.  Remember that it is murder when one person knowingly causes the death of others.  Being rich and powerful does not make it other than murder, other than evil.  Also note that a majority of the perpetrators are white; a majority of the victims are people of color.  That's not an accident either.

Perhaps the perpetrators will be reincarnated as pearlfish.
