That makes sense, I guess there's subjectivity involved as to what that would look like as I imagine the death of one of those people would be an unwanted consequence to the person with all the food and as such the first person would be better off giving food to the starving person.

Your point makes sense to me now though, so thanks

Doesn't really play out that way in actual real life (people still starve every day and both you and i probably have the resources to stop at least one of those starvation deaths), so didn't think of including this altruism in my toy model
