Today in my English 12 honors class we were assigned to read a short persuasive story about a guy who proposed an idea that if their community ate their children it would lower the poverty rate. Back in the day Ireland was known for it's poverty. So one day this guy proposed that the women should have children and nurture and take care of them (making them all fatty and delicious), so that they can sell and eat them. He stated that it could help their melancholy beggar's and it will boost the poor people and at least making them middle class. He also stated that if people began to eat their children it would lower there population and also it could give the poor people a reason not to starve.
