    Ya know, all these questions are reasons to stay hungry with most if not
    all of social statistics and any results gleaned therefrom.

    It's all so messy and unsure and it's entirely too difficult to refine
    and distill the relevant causes and effects. And this study will be
    refuted by the next one....

    Still, staying hungry is proper. Only priests eat well from the poverty
    of the ignorant.
