U nailed it, man! 
A hungry man is an angry man
Man does not live by bread alone. But he cannot live without bread
at all. The bread is the foremost need of man. Even good morality
and love come afterwards. The body needs its fuel and lubrication
constantly. Philosophy, missionary zeal, lofty ideals, dedication
or love cannot fill an empty stomach. Therefore, at times of dire
need, man can stoop to the lowest levels to satisfy his hunger. If
his efforts to satisfy his hunger fail, his patience is exhausted.
He loses his balance of mind and becomes desperate. He may even
begin to behave like a mad dog. At this stage, tell him to wait a
little longer or try to feed him on sermons or philosophies and he
will hit you on the head. Arguments will not fill his belly. The
will only infuriate him. He may even resort to violence without any
provocation because hunger itself is the greatest provocation.
Therefore, the state should see to it that no body is left
hungry.
The political parties could look into livelihood solutions for the
people first rather than idealism... so they say,
"The way to the heart is through the
stomach..."
