- HenryTheHorse 9y ago> Moving food to a poor town in the US from somewhere else is a trivial task. You're missing the point, but long as we are trivializing complex social issues, let's ask why there are 13 million hungry kids in the US. https://www.nokidhungry.org/problem/hunger-facts https://www.nokidhungry.org/problem/hunger-facts
- mrkrab 9y agoNo need to ask: lack of nutritional education and income inequality.
- madiathomas 9y agoPlease help me understand. Why would Africans need unhealthy, pesticide-infested food from America? Unless it is a country ravaged with wars, sponsored by the same, America? We can grow our own food.
- mrkrab 9y agoNo, Africa can't grow its own food. If they could, they would've, a long time ago.
- madiathomas 9y agoWe are growing our own food and exporting excess food to other countries. What do you think we are doing with our land? Just play on it? Only countries who are unable to grow their own food are those who are at war. War which is started by the very same West who pretend to be feeding us.
- summer_steven 9y agoYour claim is that most starvation in Africa is caused by war, and most war is instigated by countries outside Africa (China and the U.S.?). Why, then, don't we see so much war in South America, where China and the U.S. are also heavily involved?
- madiathomas 9y agoI love how you cherry-picked South America and ignore recent examples where US is directly involved in impoverishing people by destroying their country in the name of democracy. Democracy meaning installing their own puppets who will allow them to loot. Countries like Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait etc. All South American countries have been at war. All of them. Google them one by one. Leave China out of this equation because they have never started or sponsored war outside Asia. When a country isn't at war, know that it is ruled by puppets of the West.
- mrkrab 9y agoAnd you're cherry picking Muslim countries, when when we talk about starvation in Africa we mean the huge barren between the Muslim countries and South Africa. We are talking malaria here, what do the Muslim countries have to do with that? http://www.thelancet.com/cms/attachment/2001010053/2003786755/gr1.jpg http://www.thelancet.com/cms/attachment/2001010053/200378675...
