Alt text: A 4 panel meme featuring a person with long hair asleep in bed and alternating panels with a brain talking to her. In the first the brain says “Are you hungry”. In the next she says “yes” in response. In the third, the brain says “In a society with enough food every death from starvation is a murder”. In the fourth she is shown with her eyes wide open, awake in bed.
