I mean do you really need a plan to actually make a difference in someone’s life? Feels like an easy escape if you ask me. It really doesn’t have to be a one size fits all approach, just give starving people food, the details can be worked out later. If you have ever been starved or genuinely malnourished, you would know that nothing else matters.
Again, if he genuinely wanted to make a difference in starving peoples lives, he can do it one meal at a time, one community at a time, hell one person at a time. Because as of right now, he still has done less than my 35 dollar a month donation.

You are trolling right? The administrative and logistical work for checks notes feeding all starving people on Earth would be a fucking nightmare. Shit doesn’t just teleport to people, FYI.

Yep because a plan is sustainable. You realize that food programs in places like Africa actually cause more starvation? Because free beats locally purchased every time it drives local produce out of the market. So you have to plan how to do stuff. Otherwise your just feeding pets

This is not true, a lot of food programmes and aid is aimed at helping producers become more productive.

It's true direct food aid pushes local prices down and pushes local farmers out of the market.https://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/14/world/americas/14iht-food.4.7116855.html

This, and there’s also the tidbit that a lot of world hunger stuff is gated behind, well, world peace.
