    You may want to read my post again.

    Boycotting sugar soup is not “running out of things to eat”.

    Nowhere did I say that they’re boycotting farms. Wouldn’t make sense since I asserted that they run most rural farms.

      I asked if you thought that’s what the article was saying…

      You seem to be thinking the article is literally talking about conservatives literally running out of food. You bolster this by asking how they would run out of food since farms are more conserivite. You go further by asking if this article is saying tony the tiger owns all the food. (which Kellogg’s does in fact own a very large percent of food in most stores)

      I bring up the ranches and fisheries b/c you would have to also think the article was talking about those food sources as well if you are claiming this article is literally saying conservatives would starve to death instead of eating something with a rainbow on it.

      Again, the article is using a very common literary devise called hyperbole.
