who ever said it doesn’t has never visited a homeless camp. have two middle aged family members doing the homeless thing. wifey takes them food, feeds anyone surrounding them if the food lasts, takes them to the food bank once a week. they could work but they don’t (Won’t) but half the ones I’ve had any contact with ARE wasting away, mostly on purpose. I do help in my small way by giving advice...GET A JOB! wifey thinks I’m being mean. what do you think?
Those folks are malnourished. They are not suffering from Chronic Wasting disease. That’s an entirely different thing
Homeless and not eating is about choices in one’s life
Wasting away sure. But not by the methods described in this article. Drugs, alcohol, apathy, pride, rebelliousness, all sorts of things cause one to waste away.
