>Why is it a non-sequitur?

You: America is free
Me: America is free-er than many countries, but not totally free
You: People are starving in Zimbabwe

>Maybe you need to go somewhere to try a bit of starvation to see whether your current wounds are as deep as you say and whether you might expend your energy worrying about something a bit more soluble.

Now, based on a conversation we're having about what is not free in America, you attack my ability to understand what going on outside of my own country? We've never sat down and talked about these issues, and you have absolutely no idea how I feel about it. You are an ass.
