Upon reading this, I imagined a typical conversation I have with 5 year olds:
Outraged Kid: "So-and-so is doing such and such to someone else!"
Me: "Is 'Someone else' upset about this? Do they need help solving the problem?"
Kid: No...
[The kids involved shrug like WTF]
It has nothing to do with you and the people who should be upset don't care. WTF?

I had a similar reaction: what a tragic waste of food when people are starving. But, that actually makes no sense. People are not starving because other people are wasting food. People are starving for other reasons, most of them having to do with politics and distribution of wealth.
