It isn't okay to feed unsafe food to a starving person if there are alternatives. By stating that I would desparately take any food given to me, it doesn't then follow that I would support feeding unsafe food to a starving person if there were alternatives. It's not as if the US has no means to provide the food. It isn't "Feed those UK provided MREs or the Katrina victims starve".

I'm not condoning the US's actions, here. I'm simply stating that now that the food has arrived, no matter how awful it is that that happened, we shouldn't just ignore whatever concerns there may be and lift safety restrictions to feed it to them.
