Giving free food to Africa, Asia or anywhere else has the effect of driving the cost of food down so that local farmers can’t make a living. Who can farm rice or corn, try to make a return when the US provides free food?

If farmers can’t make a living, they do other things and the cycle of poverty is exacerbated.

Wrong—Sounds good to feed the hungry but it would not work—Food given would be seized by corrupt governments —sold so they would live like emperors of old-—The people would still starve. My answer—invade and seize the so-called nations—run them like empires of old and make sure the people get the food. Best answer—do zip and let starvation, revolution, horror and death fix the problems. I look to see a “Black Napoleon” come forward and rule a post tribal Africa. Ultimately, only Africans can solve the problems of Africa.
