Seriously, should we throw away all our electronics, modern medicine, sanitation, nice housing, electricity, etc. and sacrifice everything at the altar of poor starving children in Africa? It seems to me that more and faster progress will lead us to the solution faster than reducing our use of the advantages progress has brought us. Reduce obesity, we increase healthy lifespan of people in the first world. Some of these people are highly educated and may be contributing to the scientific progress that will lead to people in Africa having the same first world amenities. Personally I think our goal should be to achieve a post-scarcity society as soon as possible.

any human activity that isn't related to feeding starving African
children... and yet I still do my homework, go to work, and eat a
little bit more than I strictly need to and nobody seems to be getting
morally indignant about it.
