That’s a good explanation, always wondered how native speakers could fuck that up.

I still get angry about teachers replying with " I don’t know if you can go to the toilet" Fucking power play for sure. I was already shy about asking to use the toilet.

The comment you replied to said for the most part all nations could feed themselves. And also said they might be able to feed themselves but not get the necessary nutrition. Maybe the truth is in the middle of both of your comments.
