A modest proposal

This article is about how the Irish is really poor. They try so hard to find food for their families. They sell their infants for money so they can have more food to eat, etc. The city talks about many ways you can cook these children. For example, you can make these children stewed, roasted, baked, etc. They talk about how the higher the kids weigh, the more money the family can get off them. It explains how mothers will compete to bring the fattest kids to the markets. The only bad thing about cooking these children is the population will get smaller, but they are hoping the rich can buy these children so the poor can benefit. The goal is to help the poor benefit more. I really thought the part where the author talked about how they would cook the children really disturbed me. This is so sick. I can't believe people would sell their children to be eaten. Those parents have no heart and what kind of human being would eat another human being. Reading this article just kept making me sick. I would never do that if I was in the place of those families.
