You are not eating *for* them or to help *them*. Your eating is a lesson  
of privilege, good fortune, humility and possibly humbleness?  Then,  
hopefully down the line it would create a person who would share their  
good fortune or meal with others.  Just saying..

In the liberal arts, actual "Art" would still need a building: painting,  
sculture, etc..

Same thing with medicine.  They would still need labs.

Same thing with the natural sciences category (physics, chemistry,  
astronomy): they would still need buildings for labs.

So.. even if some of the other things like math, english.. may not need  
buildings, they make up a small portion.

How to "look up" could be a fine skill to have!  Or.. it could be a lesson  
of integrity thrown in there.
