    OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:

    To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.

    However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷

    I assume MEPs are cheap because the European Parliament is not nearly as powerful as many national ones. It’s designed to vote on topics predetermined by the European Council and can not initiate new laws on its own. So unless there is already something interesting in the pipeline, it doesn’t make much sense to pay high sums: The target simply can’t make it happen.
