So? Mari posted a poem which highlighted an important issue regarding the substandard food being palmed off on those most in need. She knows about it because she is one of those people. But the post wasn't about her, it was a political poem ( I read it as such anyway) about the way those on the breadline are treated by society. The responses she got resparked the issues that have been talked to death. Maybe if people didn't respond in such a nasty way, it wouldn't devolve into a rehash of previous conversations....but when someone is attacked, there is an instinct to defend themself. And frankly, when someone is attacked, rounded on or treated unfairly again and again, some of us have an instinct to balance the picture.
