I heard a similar complaint about food aid. The food for the “starving” people usually arrives about two weeks before the year’s harvest starts, so the farmers have to compete with shiploads of free food.
During the 60's and 70's, I remember seeing many commercials for Project HOPE. It would show how they distributed food to poor African countries. I always wondered what the food was. They'd show a young African dipping his hands into some white stuff and putting it in his mouth with no utensils. I always wondered what the "food" was. It looked like thin plaster or house paint. I imagine it was something like Cream of Wheat. But it was so white and smooth it did not look like food at all.
