You guys are pathetic. Do you have any idea what industrial scale is capable of? The average American eats 152 lbs of sugar every year. That's 152 lbs from field to product to market to your toilet every year. I'm not saying killing them was easier than feeding them, though that's a good argument too. What I'm saying is that the state of Illinois, with 12 million people, consumes in 6 months a weight in sugar equal to the weight of 6 million camp Jews (being generous and assuming a healthy average weight of 152 lbs for all men women and children). Now what portion of Illinois' economy is engaged in procuring and distributing sugar including all food containing sugar? Is it really harder to oven a Jew than it is to sell you a bags of cookies, loaves of bread, soda, sauces, etc, basically feed you every meal for 6 months? All that food mass had to be cooked, and the state of Illinois does it in 6 months. Imagine if they started cooking Jews. It would go very fast indeed.
