BTW none of those children look like they are starving..go to Africa and look you will see what real starvation looks like..

What is starvation supposed to look like? A lot of them don't look like skeletons until they are actually dying, and those African children also have other diseases brought on by malnourishment and unsanitary conditions that makes them look that way--i.e. dysentery. Undernourished kids don't necessarily look skeletal.

Are you begrudging a few Pop Tarts to the "evil" Afghan children? If you want to feel better about the situation, watch that National Geographic special with Stephen Junger that was filmed last year. There's a couple of "really" starving Afghan babies on that program who are too weak to even cry. I'm sure you'd love to watch it.

We do know what "starvation "looks like..It has dull lifeless eyes ,blotchy skin,thin legs and arms ,all before the bloated bellies.

Do you know during WWII how many food drops we did for the poor isolated children in Japan?

I saw those poor little babies. Don't bother with RnMomof7. She'd probably have a good belly laugh over that piece of video.
