Morality of Consumption
The Religion of the Market - Beliefnet Forums: "As one trained in Economics, it is not clear that consumption is particularly immoral. Whatever is consumed, is produced, and the producers derive economic benefit from the production. They in turn consume the production of others, who benefit right down to the peasants driven off their subsistence farms in China."

The parasite feeds on the host without benefit to the host, and usually to the detriment of the host. There is no consumption to control or equitably distribute without the efforts of the producers. The parasites whine that the producers are unfair in not giving away their products to those unable or unwilling to produce, themselves. It is the parasite that lacks the morality required to be a free, productive human being.
