In Swift's 'A Modest Proposal', all of the above are given as reasons why the Irish should sell their children as food for the rich to raise money. The fact that their mothers can't take care of them, that infants make good food and that there is a shortage of meat in Ireland are all put forward in the satirical essay as reasons to sell your children.
