With the right (or maybe that should be “wrong”) people out of the way*, many more people will be fed than would otherwise not be. Short term goals versus long term goals.

Also, stale baguettes, while technically food, are not the most nutritious of foods. Employing the baguettes in other ways may result in better nutrition.

* I should make plain** that “out of the way” does not necessarily mean the most extreme measure. It can, but it doesn’t have to.

** Somewhat like a stale baguette.
