As long as there are people starving, there's not enough money for food and therefore far from enough money for art (which is supposed to be free anyway, as is food indeed).

Art doesn’t help much if you’re starving to death.

And being well-fed doesn't help much if you're contemplating suicide because your life has no joy in it. And art is not the only source of joy, but it is one of them (and one of the most common).

I'll assume you have no actual rebuttal than, shall I?

You missed what I said apparently?

If being depressed made people stop needing food, how would anorexia work? Are they just faking it?
