Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift’s proposal is not far fetched from stories that are about “recycling” people. I don’t think his proposal would ever be executed simply because most people have strong morals against killing people, let alone eating them. Even in countries that are way below the U.S poverty line, the people go to great lengths to keep their children clothed and fed. Most people hold a person’s life, especially a child’s life to the highest regard. I would venture to hope people would not consider eating a child to be a luxury like venison.
