The trivial amount of resource expended on this art piece would do what exactly to end world hunger? How about if we all immediate sacrifice anything even slightly unrelated to bare survival until every social problem on the planet is solved? The energy spent here concern-trolling about "waste" is the real criminal misuse of resources. Plus it's boring - if you're assassinating someone, pleas, a little style? spare me (or bite me).

I don't consider this justifiable. You may not like my "concern-trolling" any more than I like your "apathy-trolling". But, as meat dressmakers know, it's a free country.
