"Globally, malnourishment is a serious issue, but not a reason for Westerners to consume more."

I'm trying to understand this analogy.

You are clearly drawing a parallel between malnourishment with AIDS.

What isn't so clear is what westerners consuming more is a parallel for.


Here is how I have broken it down.

1. "Globally, Aids is a serious issue, but not a reason for Westerners to practice safe sex."

but that would be more similar to

"Globally, malnourishment is a serious issue, and is a reason for Westerners to eat a healthy balanced diet."

so consuming more must be a parallel for irresponsible overindulgence.

If I, along with my fellow westreners, overindulge in food and available resources, then I could contribute to malnourishment in the third world.

But if any homosexual overindulges sexually, this will not deprive anyone in the third world of anything.

So the emphasis must be on irresponsibility.

Unsafe sex.

That is how your analogy can work.

"Globally, AIDS is a serious issue, but not a reason for Westerners to practice unsafe sex."



Your analogy says nothing about homosexuals that it doesn't also say about everyone else.

It certainly doesn't support any view that homosexuality is an unhealthy lifestyle.
